1.5 L/PH is extremely quick for that little rig, and anything over 2400w is going to be testing it's limits.....
Really?! Well that is interesting. Don't know if it makes any difference but I was on the stripping run. I timed 250ml at just under 11 minutes. The 5l boiler it came with has a 2200w element and it felt like it was running slower on the gas than when it was run on the electric.
It was only the second time Ive run it on the keg, so not much experience there yet. Pretty cool though, compared to heat up 5l, strip, take still apart, burn fingies, syphon more in, reassemble still, heat up................
I was under the impression that the thing governing takeoff speed is the size of the hole in the ball of the tap. It was suggested to me once that I could drill this out to a larger diameter. If its as hard as the circlip on top of the keg spear I tried to drill a small hole in, I don't think I'll bother. I went through about 10 bits before I got the hole. Then realised there was a simpler way.
Im hoping to get hold of a 3/8" ss needle valve and a couple of 1/4" to 3/8" ? adapter thingies, is this a good idea?
Am I hoping for too much from the condensing coil? If I want faster takeoff do I need a bigger/wider column or can I pimp this rig up a bit more?
