This time, I get to use my Christmas present: an outdoor camp stove! I went and got a new separate propane bottle and got set up in the garage.
Had only a few issues;
- I wasn’t familiar with the regulator, so I had the thing blasting (as Emeril says, “use your knobs!”)
- The severe heat caused a boil over; sticky all over the place
- I scorched the wort enough so that big sheets of black film were floating in it
I’m still SUPER happy with the new set up. I even hooked up the spare TV and was watching bowl games while I was doing it.
This one’s going to age for awhile once I get it in the bottles. I’ve got two batches of Dry Irish Stout to brew, so I intend to have 4 cases ready for St. Patrick’s Day this year!
