Customer Ratings:

If you're a homebrewer using a basic burner, you're wasting your time. I use this thing for 11 gallon batches and get my temps up in no time. I can boil 12 gallons from a 150º mash in about 10-20 minutes (depending on temps) in a keggle.

I go from cold hose water to 10 gallons of 160 degree water in about 20-30 minutes. Fact is, I've shaved well over an hour from my brew time because of this baby.

Yeah, so it takes a little bit of DIY to integrate it into a system. If you don't like DIY go buy a bottle of beer from the store. If you're willing to spend an hour getting it to fit your system you'll recoup that hour on your first brew day.

Yeah, it's heavy. It's 15" of cast iron. It's got to be heavy to last. This thing probably gets to about 1000º over a 60 minute boil.

Don't forget to get a hose and regulator that works with this burner.

I've had no problems with it at all. My previous burner used to put soot all over the damned keggle. That's gone.

Since this has a fairly specific use, I'm going to assume you are building a brew sculpture or making some type of beer burner (like I was). The previous reviews are right on. It had a few castings still in the burner holes, but I was easily able to knock them out with a small screwdriver that fit in the hole.

The other thing to mention is it has four mounting bolts and they are NOT square. So mounting it took a little bit of 'widening' the mounting holes I had made.

The other thing is, this could double as an anchor. It is super heavy, but not likely to break which seems good. It came with an orifice and one mounted, then hooked to my 30lb regulator it put off enough heat during testing to remove my eyebrows! Awesome! I can't wait to actually use it during a boil.

As for noise, it was VERY quiet compared to hurricane burners that I have been using. I was pleasantly surprised and plan to be able to hear music while brewing again.

All in all, I would/will buy another one. Though, if there were another game in town on this, I would probably try them. Since there is not.... oh well.

I have been using 3 of these burners for 6 years on my brew stand , first of all their cast iron (get it cast iron so they are a casting , when I bought them back 6 years ago I had them to far away from my keggles , since then I have them about 3 inches away and my effenice has improved to 3/4 vol on 20 lp tank on a 10-12 brew session ,

I since came to realize that you only need 2 burners of this style on the mash and boil kettles and a jet burner for the HLT ( hot liquid tank) , buy them with confidence and mount them to your brew stand with proper reg ,,, just remember this one thing that you take for this this burners can be dialed down ( Flame height ) very slow for the mash fly sparging and recurulation of mash and they are very quite ,,, when I first got them I was all about more was better but since when less is better I adjust the air valve and use about a 2 inch flame and it is quite and wher e I can concentrate on brewing instead of hearing jet burners ,, I tell my newbies at HB club meeting about these are the burners you need so you. Don't scorch your wort on the mash, boil kettles

Bought this burner for a brew sculpture I'm building. I have not permanently I hooked it up but I did try it out and wow it makes a lot of heat I don't think I'll have any problems bringing 11+ gallons to a boil. It came with the orifice and I purchased the 0-30 psi regulator. This burner is pretty quiet even with the high pressure propane. The end where the orifice connects was a little out of round so the air adjuster plate would not fit on it so I had to round it a little with a grinder so it would fit. I agree the forgings could be a lot better but if your at all handy it won't be a problem.

I use 3 of these in my home brewing stand. The pricing is amazing, and if anything, with my setup they can put out too much heat. That being said, once you get the spacing right, they are amazing. The fact that they include the flange adapter, and screws for mounting gives you a complete kit. Either use a single regulator, or hook them up to a gas manifold and you are in business.

The only issue I had was that the box arrived broken open, probably from the tape not being able to handle UPS throwing the box around in a truck. Everything was in the box, so there were no issues, after all , its not like they are going to ding a cast iron burner.

If you are a home brewer, these make a solid option for your brew stand. +1 !
