That's a cracker of a price! I'd be all over like flies to shit if i needed one. Come to think of it....i could use it...nah.....maybe fathers day....already got a burner......this is better than mine though......

Catalogue says high pressure regulator.

It'll have no problem boiling a keggle. Probably send a rocket to the moon aswell. My 3 ring puts out around a third of that i recall properly, and i have no problem with boiling 46lt of wort in my 50lt keggle. Apart from the odd boilover when my back is turned.

EDIT: the only thing i'd double check is the strength of the legs and what they are rated at for weight. A full keggle if doing a double batch will be bloody heavy. Probably around 65kg - approx 50kg for full keggle depending on your boil volume, plus i reckon mine must weigh close to 12,15 kilo's when empty.

There's a couple of thread on here
One of the threads

At 100BTU it will kit a keggles arse! (they are adjustable, so no problems)

Even if later you want to do doubles etc it will work.

My bad Nath

Must have got a little excited . High pressure Reg it does say .

Might head over there tomorrow and grab one . Already half way through building a rig for my BIAB setup .

Did a test run with 3 burner on sunday and wasnt overly impressed with the time it took to get to certain temps ect .

Need to get a reg and hose anyway so might as well go all the way and get them altoghter then build it into rig .

Solves all probs at once .

 

[Jace89]

Gonna grab one of these tomorrow. Ill find out what the stand can hold and get back to you guys!

Surely you can become a member with them after filling out a stupid form....at least that's what most retailers seem to do.

Was beaten to it

 

[Pourmeanother]

Only did this a month ago and forgotten what I had to do already lol .

Think it went like this

Joined up in store they give you a plastic membership card . Which you can use I think only after you register online .

You also get a $20 off voucher that you have to print out ans is valid for a month . Dont think they would let you us it on the specials list but.

See how you go .

I have two. Boils up 50L of keggle no worries. The reg says 2kg/hr, 150kPa. Beerbelly's medium pressure reg goes up to 207kPa so the BCF one's claim of "High Pressure" may be a bit off.

 

[pk.sax]

If I remember right, signing up to be a member for free in store/online whatever let's you get a 10-20% discount on your next purchase. A little hazy on the details, this was all half a year ago and I nearly bought one of them but they were working out same price as Italian spirals back then so didn't and paid a brewshop instead.

Rang 'em a while ago about these and was told the regulator is a low pressure one - I think i didn't get the brightest shop attendant. He also said i should rig it without a regulator if i really wanted high pressure :excl: (DISCLAIMER: DO NOT DO THAT! YOU WILL BLOW YOURSELF UP!)

Low pressure is about 2.75kPa so 150kPa is a few more...

I have a spiral burner from a camping shop with adjustable medium pressure regulator from Pat at Absolute Homebrew - its the ducks nuts and heaps of control - can run it down to about 0.5kg/hour all the way up to Ludicrous Speed

More good reasons to stick with LHBS where possible.

Would be great to have a LHBS. When everything you order adds $30+ to the price, a local BCF gets the sale sometimes.
