I've wondered about the different regulators available and how easy it is to regulate temps for all the different conditions that one might encounter. I suppose the regulators with the higher pressure will heat the wort faster, but use more gas in the process.
Do you need different gas cylinders to work with regulators with different pressures, or will the regular propane gas cylinders work with all of them?
I'm planning on doing mostly 3-gal batch sizes, but want the capability of doing 5-gal batches also.
If I get one of the185,000 BTU or 210,000 BTU burners that are on the market, can I control the flame well enough to add just a bit of heat to a 3-gal batch to raise my mash temp back say 3 or 4 F to get it back to "specs" if the wort is cooling down too much before enough time has elapsed for good conversion?
Will be higher rated BTU burners do the smaller batches efficiently or should I get a a burner in the 60,000 BTU range?
Thanks in advance for you advice.
