Pezzza Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Any of you good lot use a flamethrower like the below to heat brewing vessels... mash tuns - sparge water etc ? i.e. am doing BIAB I have a SS brewing vessel and a have used a 2200W electric element which is plumbed in through a hole... And have had a couple burn-on incidents... am wondering whether having the heat spread across the bottom of the vessel - even if I have to get a flame-tamer heat spreader/diffuser plate between the Gas Burner and the bottom of the SS Mash Tun/Boiler... might avert the burn-on potential? And then such a device could double up for outside cookery... wokking up/outdoor curry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I used to use an Italian Spiral burner when I had my 3v system. Worked great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, put an ad in the local rag, put a note on the local independent grocery store pin-up board, find a local Facebook community page & post something there. There's likely many others I've missed. If you start it, you get to become the President/Chairman, or in your case "Captain". Cheers, Lusty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi BB, I have one similar which I think is a keg king one it’s a beast, pretty good on gas as It’s running at the low end of it’s capacity as I start off with approx 33 litres. I use it in my garage so there is no wind but would be hesitant if you use it outside as it will blow out when boiling as it is barely going. My dad made me a stainless steel plate to go under the tap as it melted the plastic on the handle and possibly some of the o-ring but it’s not leaking. If you have more questions no worries I originally bought a ring burner what a piece of rubbish just burnt too rich and made my pot black I took that back and nearly used half a bottle of gas for one batch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I'm brewing my AG version of Neill's centenarillo ale today. Just about to squeeze out the grain bag then start bringing the wort to the boil. I'll post the recipe itself when I go to the computer to input some data into Beersmith. I've kept the hopping pretty close to the extract version with some small changes to the timings and increased the Centennial amount a bit. Grain bill was designed to try to mimic the two tins of pale extract used, just added some black malt to get it a little darker. No dextrose being used, achieving the target FG with the mash temp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Here's the recipe. Missed the pre-boil efficiency target by a couple of % but meh, it'll still make a nice brew. I hope Will ferment at 18C, 25 litre batch size based on 75% brewhouse efficiency. Mashed at 67 degrees for 70 minutes before my usual rests at 72 and 78. Forgot to turn the urn off during the mash out and it got up to 85, so hopefully that doesn't bugger it up too much Est Original Gravity: 1.0505 SGEst Final Gravity: 1.0117 SGEstimated Alcohol by Vol: 5.1 %Bitterness: 35.2 IBUsEst Color: 13.5 EBC 36.00 L Brisbane Water (APA (Distilled Water)) Water 1 - - 8.50 g Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) (Mash) Water Agent 2 - - 5.50 g Calcium Chloride (Mash) Water Agent 3 - - 4.00 g Epsom Salt (MgSO4) (Mash) Water Agent 4 - - 2.95 g Salt (Mash) Water Agent 5 - - 4.800 kg Pale Malt, Ale (Barrett Burston) (5.9 EBC) Grain 6 90.2 % 3.13 L 0.500 kg Munich II (Weyermann) (16.7 EBC) Grain 7 9.4 % 0.33 L 0.020 kg Black Malt (Thomas Fawcett) (1300.2 EBC) Grain 8 0.4 % 0.01 L 25.00 g Centennial [10.20 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 9 18.6 IBUs - 40.00 g Amarillo [7.20 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 10 9.9 IBUs - 40.00 g Amarillo [7.20 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 15.0 min, 90.2 C Hop 11 6.8 IBUs - 1.0 pkg American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056) [124.21 ml] Edited October 13, 2019 by Otto Von Blotto 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 So I am doing the Kilowog Krush, I made slight adjustments, as I do with this recipe. I am going with galaxy in the dry hop over azacca and mosaic because I am hoping for a really punchy aroma that will, hopefully, compliment the flameout additions...hopefully. I also looked at the original recipe, it was actually all citra, galaxy, and Nelson sauvin, but as I drew away from galaxy I subbed in mosaic and azacca. Anyways, I want to try this and see how it comes out. I also added biscuit malt because, as it will be fair strength, at 1.049 OG, I wanted it to have some maltiness and body come through and complement the hops but not overpower. Hopefully just enough to know you are drinking a beer and not hop juice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Missed my OG by one point, ended up on 1.0494, but due to the lower than desired pre boil volume I cut the boil time by 13 minutes so I could still fill the cube, or at least fill it enough to not have to squeeze much air out. It'll go into the fermenter after the red ale is done, or maybe before it if I get the second brew fridge ready in time. Making up the shelf next weekend.

Here you have completed the Mash... and then in the Mash Out …. why would going to 85 be a problem.. As you are going up to the Boil anyway? And think that the brew book suggesting that Mash Out probably does not make much of a difference anyway.... Am keen to read your feedback : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Because the grains were still in there. High temperatures can extract astringency/tannins. Obviously once the grains are removed it doesn't matter but a mash out is done with them still there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
