Start to boil to boiling time?

Post by Comforteagle » Sun Feb 14, 2016 12:23 pm

I'm using a propane kitchen burner & I feels like it takes forever to get my all grain to a boil. 7G boil vol.

Are the banjo burners any faster? :cheers:

I would guess that banjo burners are probably faster, but I wouldn't think you'd need something that size for 7 gallons. Also, what is a propane kitchen burner? You shouldn't be cooking with propane indoors.

I'm guessing the propane kitchen burner is part of your propane range / cooktop? If so, banjo burner would probably be faster. What are your times like now?

I'm timing it now. I'm at 205 & it's been 46 mins.

I have a Blichman and it's definitely faster than that to go from mash temp to boil, maybe 20 minutes max, with 32L in the pot.


EDIT: The tradeoff is that once you go to a banjo or Blichman style burner, you need to be outside or very well ventilated.

I'm very grateful for the indoor burner today. Brrrrrr.
