I have been challenged to make a Heinekin.  I have the Danish yeast on the way,
but wonder if any of you have a good recipe (all grain)?

Hi All,

  In HBD #5331 Dick Adams asked some more questions about a Strong Scotch 
Ale braggot.

  Even when making a braggot you want to use some hops.  A braggot should be 
a good base beer to which you add honey to get the added sugars and the 
honey character.

  1 oz of fuggles in 10 gallons would probably work well for a wee heavy 
braggot.  Maybe 8 to 10 IBU's.

  My homebrew club brewed approx 55 gallons of braggot and fermented it in a 
used bourbon barrel a few years ago.  We are planning on brewing another 
batch this Saturday.  It's a malty brown ale of about 1.060 OG with enough 
honey added to get the braggot OG up to about 1.120.

I followed this link and recognized the burners. I found them in an
old Northern Brewer catalog, or at least ones that looked just like
them. The 100k btu burner was item numbers 7365 and $39.50. They also
carried a 300k BTU burner that would be just the ticket for a 175L
batch.

 They don't show up in the new catalog at all, but you might try
calling them 800-681-2739. There might be one or two hanging out in
the warehouse. I can scan and send you the page if you'd like.

BTW, I just bought a hurricane burner from them and I like it a whole
lot more than the cajun cooker variety. Quieter for sure and it seems
to be more efficient.

That's a good price. The spec page shows the temp range to 275F. Did I
miss a spec somewhere? 120C = 250F.

Harlan Bauer asks about Solarflo Jet Burner Sources

"Does anyone know of a source for the full line of Solarflo jet burners?
http://www.solarflo.com/impinged.htm"


http://morebeer.com/ sells them, but not their full line. They may be able
to order them for you.  I was wondering the same thing about turndown ratio
a while back, and came to the conclusion that it was better to modify/make a
manifold to shut off some of the jets, rather than turn them down.  

FWIW, a local fellow uses them in 90 gallon batches, but AFAIK, doesn't seem
to need to turn it down.  

He builds custom brewing equipment, and could possibly order them too.  You
can reach him through Larry's Brewing in Kent, WA.  His name is Terry.  He
makes the nicest conicals you'll ever see.

Mike Sharp
