I come home from work the other day, exhausted and my mom comes in the room and says "did you notice the kitchen?". I had not. I go in there and in a box on the floor is a Blichmann Floor Burner! Hot damn. I have a girlfriend and parents who support my brewing habit.
I was getting ready to attempt a brew in a bag all grain brew (5 gallon total) with my 10 gallon pot on the stove. What I was going to try to do was find a setting on my stove that maintains the mash temperature while it does it's thing.
Blichmann burners seem really adjustable. Is it possible to have it on a simmer setting for maintaining a mash temperature? has anyone done this?
What settings do you blickmann users out there use for 5 gallon boils? I get the impression I could scorch my wort to death with this sucker.
Also, I'm trying to figure out about how much propane I'll need to have handy. It seems clear to me that I can't just borrow the grills propane tank. I have no idea how much is in there. Does anyone have any experience with the propane usage?
Thanks in advance. I searched, and there was some good information, but nothing that seemed to help my particular cause.
