Just tested my new 32 jet Mongolian burner - that mofo puts some serious heat out. Should get the job done tomorrow!!

pretty freaking impressed with it - it is a big *******. Stand has in built wind shield on 3 sides, so no fear of any wind issues.

[chappo1970]

Must be photo's and an update by now?

Maybe they have forgotten us? <_<

 

[brettprevans]

Purely for education purposes we are showing siborg what NOT to do. We still haven't finished the first boil. Still got the fkn partigyle left. Lots of pics will go up.
We've have facials, backcials, multiple stuck sparges ( Fents ur tun has some answering to do), etc etc

 

[manticle]

I had my first stuck sparge today in sympathy with you all.

 

[Kleiny]

so seriously, when do we think we will be finished. I really cant see the barley wine taking 7hrs. I was thinking that we'd be done by 5pm.

What was that CM2
