What's your least favourite thing about brewing?

jonnyconga · Dec 29, 2015

With the the yellow flame you also want to be super careful if brewing anywhere confined as it'll be kicking out a lot of carbon monoxide - which I'm sure you know Is deadly...!
My least favourite bit is cleaning - either brew pot (inside) or fermenters.

looks the same as the malt miller one that i have.......ive never had to scrub the outside of the kettle.....must actually look at at next brewday..hopefully tomorrow

See the silver sleeve near the gas on/off valve? That should slide up and down the body of the burner. Light your burner and adjust it until you get a blue flame.

Mmm think i might add fishing wedges of lime out of corona bottles...

Yes, that's where I bought it, you jogged my memory.

Bottling for me, I really do hate it.

GHW · Jan 2, 2016

Just had a fiddle with my propane burner. The silver sleeve thing was completely covering the air vent, opened it out a bit and hey presto, nice blue flames with orange tips as described above.

I can now look forward to not dying when I next brew, and having survived, not having to clean tons of soot off my pot.

Which means to bring us back to the original post, I need a new thing to like least about brewing.

I've decided it's not knowing how to use my equipment properly.

Thanks to all above for the tip off.

I'm sure it's been said before, but cleaning is a pain with AG brewing. I don't like yeast lag much either - I'm always edgy until I see signs of fermentation.
