Hi All,
I have found some 150L SS tanks which I'm considering using for a boiler. The tanks are new and are approx 1m high and 45cm in dia and have a wall thickness of ~1.2mm (my guess) for $290.
Due to electricity constraints, I need to gas fire most/all of my equipment (HLT, HERMS, boilers). I intend to use a Mongolian 23 to fire this. My concern is that I will burn/scorch the wort because there is no thick base like there is on a pot. I'm considering whether to place the tank on a 3mm aluminium plate to prevent this.
Ok, the questions:
1) Is the Mong 23 suitable for boiling 100-125 L well (ie short heat-up and rapid boil)
2) Due to the thin base, will the wort burn?
3) If yes, is sitting the tank on a 3mm aluminium plate going to fix the problem
Thanks in advance,
Adam L
