re: Home Brewing Advice

What burners were you going to use? I haven't been able to find any burners capable of pushing the temps you need to heat 10 gallons of water.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question there. I use the burner for boiling only and we are able to find a happy setting to keep it at a low boil. But when we were first starting we were doing the BIAB and had a lot of trouble keeping the flame low enough to stay around 155.

A benefit of the setup we use is that the coolers insulated (because they're coolers. Lol). We heat our water to 170, mash the grain in and the temp naturally settles in the mid 150s. We heat our strike water to 160 and put it in the 10 gallon hot water tank and it stays there until we use it.

Make hazy iPas or GTFO.

That's exactly why I brew. There are so many beers that are more work than its worth to get your hands on. I definitely like the 120 minute IPA but I can make it for maybe $1.25 a beer, and have a 5 gallon batch, or I can buy one bottle for $12.50 and only drink it on special occasion.

I have 10 gallons I'm going to keg up tonight of a pseudo Treehouse Brewery Julius IPA that I made. I've never had the real deal so I'll never know how close it turned out, but I like higher gravity beers so I upped the grain and used pretty similar hops and grains. So far it tastes and smells incredible.

I was looking into using 5500 watt heating elements - would need a 30 amp circuit.
