Doing a first “dry” run on the beer kit…. making sure that I have all the stuff that I need logistics that kind of thing.
Things to note…
Propane burners are loud and hot… should probally brew on back porch when time comes not garage unless it is a windy day.
20 minutes to bring ~8 gallons of water to 200F so around 15minutes for 6 gallons to 180F
Propane control knob has a small play region after 2 turns it’s wide open.
Need to find a better thermometer… this one floating way low in the pot is not a good idea.
Oven mits are a really good idea all around
Ball valve on the pot is holding… small leakage only from the end.
Sink, test, and tighten chiller before starting boil…
7 minutes to 150F with 8 gallons of water.
May need to spray out side of kettle to help get water temp down. Need to get second hose.
