as some of you know i built this much of a brew sculpture like a year ago. https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?pid=11171598&id=824330593I still have a bit of work to go. I already have almost all the tools, just haven't got on top of it, for safety reasons and fear. I would LOVE to be able to brew in my apt complex basement if i could. So I was wondering if I got 3 nat gas burners for indoor brewing, and hooked up nat gas in the basement how safe would this be? How much ventilation would I need? Lastly, would it be possible to run nat gas through a propane burner? I don't understand the difference in the burners..Obviously with the baby on the way this isn't an expense I'm thinking about right now, but definitely something to think about for the future.

BEfore you do any real planning, you should find out if your apt complex will allow such activity. I tend to doubt they would. And no, from what I've seen you can't use a propane burner for natural gas, at least without modifications. I haven't looked into using nat gas so that's as far as I can take it.And BTW, your FB privacy settings don't seem to allow viewing of your sculpture.

Ya I of course am going to ask, but just was curious if this would even work. also.. curious would it would take to turn this bad boy electric maybe?

for something that size I would also be concerned with venting the steam. Less concerned with the the natural gas 25k btu purners would work (I assume a big vinking stove is putting out similar power?)For electric you will want 220 if you do a internet search should be able to get plans and parts list.

From what i have read, all you need to know is that the dia. size of the oriface is.then drill that out by one drill bit size larger. we plan to hook up to the house gas line out to garage and modify the propane burnersto run the Brutis system.I would think a slightly bigger than normal size kitchen hood vent would be sufficent to remove steam and any gas.good looking system by the way. keep us posted.
