Hello, Im building my first brew stand and did some tests today. My setup is low propane going into a Honeywell smart valve and then to a 23 tip jet burner. I place the burner approx. 3" from the bottom of the converted keg.
I tested heating 10 gallons of water from 85f to 153f. It took 33min and 25 seconds. I have a ball valve coming out of the lp tank which was 60% open. If I open it more, the flames come up from the bottom and start to heat my valve and melt the plastic grip.
Can you provide your times? Im wondering what will happen if I plan to do a step mash. It really takes a lot of time. What would happen if I plan on doing 120f - 140f - 153f steps. It would take at least 10 minutes to increase 20f approx. Will this work for a step mash?
Any comments welcome. Thank you!
