OK,
Ive been reading through all the forums and have become confused. I recently built a thre tier brew stand and am ready to plumb it for propane.
I will be brewing primarily 5 gallon batches with some 10 gallon batches. I am converting 3 sanke kegs to serve as HLT,MT and BK. From what I can tell I should be fine with going with BG-12 burners for all three, although I plan on hardly ever using one on the MT, aside from the random step mash. Now we get to where I get confused.
I went to Lowes and got a few sections of 3/8" black pipe, 3/8 tees and ball valves. I feel like now I should return the ball valves and find some needle valves. First, does anyone see an issue with this?
Second, Lowes had 5ft replacement hoses that I think I can hook up from the valve to the burner. What I dont know is what regulator to get and what orifice to get.
It seem like I should be able to run the entire thing off of one regulator and control each burner at the manifold with the needle valve. Im lost on the orifice. I cant figure out what it does and which one to get. Any help is appreciated.
Andy
