Hey everybody,
I recently bought a new, more powerful burner to boil my wort since at best my old one never really got the wort to a roiling boil. That being said, I was making a batch of beer yesterday with a 90 minute boil when I noticed that even though the burner was almost fully open, the boil was slowing down. I happened to take a look at the propane tank and noticed that it was covered in a layer of frost about 1/4" thick. I picked up the tank to see how full it was and when i picked it up and shook it, the burner all of a sudden started really pumping out again, however once I let it sit the burner would slow down again. Is there something I am doing wrong? I don't want to have to sit there shaking a propane tank for an hour or more just to ensure that my boil remains constant. Any advice would be most welcome!
