wanna go to gas boiler, I have a few old beer barrels I can convert one to a boiler so need a gas hob.

Is 50 euros inc shipping good value?

It'd be good to know the btu values then check eBay for equivalents

6.5kw

6.5kw

I don't use gas but from looking into it for myself and chatting with our UK cousins the minimum BTU they use on a keg is 8.5 KW.

im comfortably boiling 30 litres on 2.5kw, the keg would need to be wrapped up though as the losses would be significant. Im hoping to boil 40 litres down to 34 litres for my conical

This one seems to be a standard for us gas brewers at the moment!

Looks similar to the one you've linked to but you'll have it delivered for about €40.

Even 6.5kW is good enough to roll boil 50 litres of liquid.

Was in exact same boat until taf and blackbrew in the Rebel Brewers tipped me off.

Going to pick one of these up but it'll be the first time I used gas so can I ask those who did get it which type of fittings should I be getting with this? ie I'm seeing both High Pressure and Low pressure hoses, regulators then there is multiple sizes of hose 8mm, 8.3mm and 10mm! HELP!!

Sorry meant to add the link:

Are you going to use Butane (Yellow bottles) or Propane (red bottles)?

Propane can give more heat and works much better in winter and is the dogs if you want to run big blowlamps etc.

If Butane then get the adjustable Butane reg - it allows better flame control

If Propane then you need an adjustable low pressure reg. But there is a problem: The Burner is designed for Butane hose that has a 8mm ID and is coloured Orange. I think the longest length they can legally sell you is 2 meters.

Propane hose is about 4.5 mm Id and is coloured black.

My advice decide on the gas, then phone them, tell them you live south of them and so need our Republican bottle fittings.

They will make sure you get exactly what you want.

They are a very good company

Thanks Will,

I was planning on the Butane so I take it that I need the adjustable Butane reg and 8mm Orange hose - should I get Low or High Pressure? or as you say best to give them a call to make sure I get the right kit
