I've built a Brutus style brew rig. Low pressure propane, honeywell standing pilot valves, PID controls, direct fired recirculated mash, etc...
I did my first brew with the new rig on Sunday and everything was going great until I finished the sparge and tried to boil. The low pressure propane / bg-14 burner just didn't have enough power to produce a real boil. I had about 16 gallons in the brew pot and it would not even simmer with the lid off. I had to put the lid mostly on to get any type of boil going.
Is something wrong with my burner set up? Is low pressure propane just not powerful enough to produce a real boil? Please help...
