Steve this thing gets really hot I don't know wat a brew stand is but if you crank this thing up it gets very hot in a hurry. Hope this helps

Not sure about the exact quantity of heat, but the flame from this burner is really hot. In fact, I've never even cranked it as far as it will go. The paint on the metal burned off after the first use but has not been an issue since.

Hi Brian.. depends a bit on where you're doing it. I made a ventilated cabinet for the brew vessel.. with a pc exhaust fan in the top and a heat band about a quarter way up the vessel. It has a brew heat monitor with a sensor taped to the back of the vessel. This monitor controls both the fan and the heat band. You can set a temperature and the monitor switches on either the fan or the heatband on if the temperature is 2 degrees higher or lower than required. The monitor, fan and heatband are cheaply available and well worth the investment.. Hope this helps.. Geoff.

My brew belt gets really hot also, pretty much to the point that it's hot to the touch. I think this is normal for the most part, beings that the belt is designed to heat 6 gallons to 75-80 degrees.

I measured mine with a thermometer. Right after the "on" light comes on, the brew is a very hot 195 degrees F.

I would take a warm wet cloth and put it over the strip if it dose not read then you may have a bad strip mine is always in the 70 degrees range depending on how active your fermentation is. Hope this helps good luck

Never measured the temperature; I just put a keg inside and it cools the beer perfectly. Are you measuring with a keg in or out? It's designed to work with a keg in it, and the keg itself will help retain the cold because it's metal...

Hi there, I have the same problem, and I just ordered one of those. since you posted this in november, did you get lucky with it? by the way, how do you intend to brew your beer? I've just started, but I'm brewing with malt extract, and I don't need to boil 5 gallons at once. I can make the wort with 1.5 gallons and add to pre boiled water.Thank you.

Temperature is somewhere close to hell. It gets HOT but if you take it 45 to 60 seconds at a time you'll be fine, Assuming it's about 5 to 6 inches outside dimensions your fusing will take about 3 minutes. It is very simple... you need either 90 or 96 COE glass - don't mix them. Find your colors. Get your fusing papers together and have fun. I recommend watching a few you tube videos from Debbie at Glaze Glass. Enjoy.

I used a heat gun on low setting of 750watt, worked just fine, just be careful not to get too close, it can melt it.

One user reports "Very high quality build, I got it for home brewing and have done a full 5 gal boil with a 10 gallon pot. However, the boil is not vigorous".. That makes it 50 lbs + weight of pot. Reading his review I would think thats about your limit. Thats a lot for a counter top burner. I have done about 40lbs myself pot & contents. Take all that with a grain of salt of course :-) There are no specs available to state the design limits. I would suggest you contact Vollrath for that info.. They are really nice and very helpful.

I don't fully understand your question. I'll try to answer. I have it set at 78. I have rigged it and use it for brewing kombucha tea. It isn't where I can notice it all the time it is on a shelf in my laundry). I have never noticed it below 77.2 and I have never noticed it above 78. Does that help?

This is wonderful information. Thanks for the prompt answer. Isn't the internet a marvel? One more question, if you're willing : does one have the option of pouring a cup before the brewing process is completely finished?Thanks again,

362F is really low for soldering though. Try it at 750. Also, is your temp gun accurate? I reccomend purchasig an actual tip thermometer.

Jeff forgot to write you back my apologies, I set my burner at medium and it takes anywhere from 6-7 minutes. It conducts heat very well, and I use it every day and see no warping. I would strongly recommend this for pour-over coffee methods

It is quite large, probably two-three times the capacity of most ordinary small grinders, but I was extremely unhappy with its plastic...not heat resistant, so can't be anywhere near the stove. Melted after 2 weeks and I threw it out. Table-use only, I'd say.

Check your instruction booklet! I know you can program it to make different quantities, it may just be set up to brew for 6. How that helps!

you must have a different model. All I have is the on/off - heating - brewing lights. Sorry couldn't help.
