Great Color. How did it turn out

Very nice... very tasty, only slightly hoppy with a light smoky finish...
I think the next batch I'll dry hop to give a bit deeper aroma

How long did that mash take? I'm thinking of trying a doppelbock with double decoction because I just don't have 6 hours for a mash.

This is what I did...decoction boiled for 30min each.

Dough-In 70.0 F 15 min
Acid Rest 95.0 F 45 min
Protein Rest 127.0 F 60 min
Dextrinization Rest 143.0 F 15 min
Mash Out 163.0 F 10 min

brewday was almost 8hrs (first mash - 2hr boil - clean up)

I could have brewed 20gal using single infusion lol

My new Jockey box worked awesome last weekend! Held ice for 4 days and kept the beer ice cold.

Growing some Conan and Forbidden Fruit for tomorrow's brew.

Double brew day today. First time using the KAB6 burner as well. Have 12 gallons of water up to almost strike temp in less than a half hour. Loving this burner so far.

Jeff any flame outs without the propane tanks in water? I have to with my KAB6. Any questions let me know. I've got around 50 batches on mine.

Thanks Woody. Not as of yet. Half way through my first boil and all is well. I have it dialled back quite a bit. One thing I do need to do is fashion up a heat shield for my racking valve and sight glass fitting. Those things are getting hotter than hell.

Woody · Post by **Woody** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:59 pm

They sure do Jeff. I use a cheap piece of aluminum to wrap around mine. Cools really quick and surprising doesn't melt. Food for thought.

I was using these when I was running propane..they worked well.

Good idea Jimmy. The KAB6 has a small shield over the air intake so I line the temp probe and the ball valve on the pot to it and it help's allot.

I'm finding that the heat is curling around the edges of the pot so think I'm going to need to buy the heat shields. My valve and sight glass fitting sit really low.

Sometimes less is more with these burners. Dialing back on the propane delivery may help with the flame-outs. I know the Blichmann burner is designed with an ideal propane flow less than maximum regulator capacity.

I'm guessing the water is to keep the tank from getting too cold, and keep lots of propane in the gas phase. Do you have troubles in the winter?

Woody · Post by **Woody** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 10:40 pm

Hey Chris! In the winter I put the tank in warm water and have no issues and you are correct as to why I do it. A little ice forms but I put the warm water from the wort chiller on the bucket and it frees up fast. In the summer my well water works fine with no freezing. I've tried everything but that 30 psi regulator sucks so much propane so fast my tanks were freezing up and flaming out. Read somewhere about putting the tank in water and haven't had an issue since. I don't go gang busters on the boil but do like a nice rapid one.
