Right Heat For Keggie

[jameson]

Hi all. I have been looking at heat options for my keggie. I do like the jet burner at bcf but think it will be to loud for the neighbours. I will also like to do double batches some times so electric could be a bit slow. I have seen a four ring cast with a big cast stand added I did bring my keggie down to the camp shop and it looks like a ok fit I would use a high pressure reg. But I have now seen the Italian spiril and the magollion. I would like to get this right first time round. So all thoughts welcome.

My Nasa will boil 50L in an hour with a high pressure reg.
it's loud-ish when it's flat out, but for my neighbors, it's more of a "Bar's Open" Call.

I would probably recommend an Italian spiral with a medium or high pressure reg.
That's what I'm looking at.

The four ring will do the job, It might be a little full on but you can turn some rings off.

I use an italian spiral with 207kpa adjustable reg and its relatively quiet.

I used it on a 35L boil the other day and raised from 66C to 78C in 5 minutes. 2.4C per minute. Wasn't even fully flat out, but was as high as I've cranked it.

It also boils 50L batches no problem.

...

One of the things I like with the Italian Spiral is I seem to be able to have it on everything from very low to inferno without having to mess with the venturi

Thanks everyone for the replies and the great link looks like the Italian job is the go just what I am after. Does any one know if the stand that is with it will hold a keggie.
