I'm in the process of converting my house from LP to NG and I'd like to have the plumbers run a drop for inside and outside by garage for my burner. Has anyone converted their LP burners to NG? What should I be considering when setting this up? I currently have a KAB6 bayou classic. I have read the Brulosophy article on how he converted his KAB4 to use NG. http://brulosophy.com/2014/05/12/propane-to-natural-gas-conversion-best-investment-ive-made/ He used a simple turn valve regulator because his …
I want to purchase a burner for all grain brewing. What are the qualities that I should look into for each product to compare them against each other? I will be brewing indoors in my apartment if that makes a difference. For example, I assume the higher the BTUs, the better. The quicker it takes to boil a certain quantity of water, the better. What should I look for when purchasing a burner?
My pot burned a tiny portion, about an inch across, of the steeping bag for an all-grain recipe prior to the boil. Is the beer still safe to drink? What off-flavors can that produce?
So I am looking into upgrading the gear I use to do a boil. Currently I have a 5 gallon stainless steal pot, I use an electric range to heat the water, and my kitchen sink to cool down the wort. It works, but I have had problems with my wort boiling over lately. I have tried putting less water in for the boil, then top up in the fermenter later, but this has lead to some scorching. Not to …
Do you think it is worth the $135 for a Blichmann burner? http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/brewing-equipment/burners/blichmann-floor-burner.html I found a turkey fryer at Home Depot for less than half the price. Why should I spend more $ on the Blichmann burner?

I use 18" banjo burners on propane. When I'm trying to ramp to boil I have the choice between a shorter all blue flame (which I believe is the most efficient), A wild all yellow flame that edges around the kettle, and any combination between. What flame puts out the most BTUs? What flame is the most efficient? What flame is recommended for this application?
I just did my first batch on a campchef propane burner http://cascadeclimbers.com/gear/hiking/product/Camp-Chef-Yukon-Stove.html Problem is that in the during the boil it never crossed my mind that I didn't have to have the burner on high the whole time. Towards the end of the boil when stirring I could feel some gritty harder bits in the bottom of the pot, I assume to be scorched sugars. Question is: What type of flavor am I going to be looking for to know …
I'm currently brewing in the limbo between extract and all grain. I plan to each batch (about 2 or 3 batches a year for me) buy a significant piece of equipment to get me closer to all-grain. I still need a good propane burner, a full-size brew kettle, and the cooler-setup for my setup, but I'm not sure in which order to buy them, and since I haven't won the lottery, I can't buy it all in one go. What …
Any idea on what BTU, PSI, etc. would be acceptable for 5 gallon boils? I've been looking around at turkey fryer's but I don't know if they'll pump out enough heat. Recommendations? PS: I'm trying to avoid using my glass electric stove. If I do that I'll probably need to do partial boils.
