Gentlemen

I am looking to upgrade to a minimum 10 gal pot

Any suggestions, insights, esp SS vs Al?

Thanks OZ

I was looking at those. The price is certainly is right!

I assume they are sturdy enough?

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

the best Ive seen, very heavy and strong, very similar to the Blichmann quality

 

[Krimbos]

Damn! DONE!

if your going to drill through it to add a ball valve I suggest a good step bit, they burn out quick with this solid 304 stainless so use oil and drill in short burst and let it cool between

I bought the 9 gallon, 2 weld brew pot from here, with brass ball valve and 2" thermometer and it's been great.

Look what I found on my morning walk with the dog!!!

I am sure some teenagers will not be happy tonight!

Thanks for the chat, Brian, but I think I am covered now!

 

[The Brew Mentor]

That's random! :lol:
Let me know if you try out that recipe I gave you.

[Krimbos]

OK, dumb question

That barrel is about half full

Can I bottle the beer?

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

probably has been used with an air pump, so the beer is going to taste stale from all the oxidation in it

 

[The Brew Mentor]

Serve it to a non-craft beer drinking friend! haha!

And the rabbit hole gets deeper and longer.

Cut my keggle today. Piece o cake.

But now my burner is too small. The keggle does not sit safely.

Suggestions? I would like a tall one so I can drain easier

185,000BTU! :mrgreen:

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

now thats a whooper, better have an extra propane tank too lol

 

[Krimbos]

Which begs the question - are high BTU flamethrowers overkill?

will a 185,000 btu unit use more gas than necessary? IS a 50,000 btu more economical?

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

what happens when you turn it up is the flame spreads out and crawls up the sides of a smaller pot so you can only turn it up till the flame stops at the edges and the higher btu will use more propane, it has bigger jets but you can always tun it down so thats your call
