The SQ14 cooker uses a medium-power 6 inch ring burner. The stand is 13 inches high with 16 inch square cooking surface. Includes a 5 psi regulator with stainless wrapped hose - you supply a standard propane tank.

The 6 inch burner runs lower power flames but has more individual orifices than the 4-inch ring burner. Although the maximum power is lower, this 6 inch burner runs quieter and is more controllable at the lowest flame settings. That makes it a good choice if it will also be used for cooking. At full blast it can theoretically pump out 60,000 BTU. More conservative test methods rate this burner at 40,000 BTU.

Our mash paddle has a very smooth, sanded finish but is oil free so as not to transfer any foam killing oils into your beer.  Small circular hole at top of handle allows for easy hanging in your brewery.  Paddle is 28" long, and is great for 5-20 gallon batches.

Inlet at the bottom allows air to automatically purge to reduce hot-side aeration
Fine filter with wiper seal sends very clear wort to your fermentor.
Coarse filter and cone bottom inlet prevents wort channeling and backup for even hop utilization
Works on gravity systems and with pumps (about 4ft (1M) of static head is recommended for best gravity performance)
Doubles as an awesome hop infuser (Randalizer) for your dispensing system
1/2" NPT connections are easy to adapt to - a perfect match for our popular QuickConnector fittings (1/2", 3/8" barb and 1/4" flare)

New to the Blichmann Engineering lineup is the patent pending HopBlocker boil kettle filtration system! Over a year of brutal but tasty research yielded a filtration system that has up to 95% efficiency and is virtually impervious to plugging! We have tested the HopBlocker with over a pound of pellet hops in a 20gal batch and it brought them to their knees.

Traditional screen filters quickly plug with pellet hops and other fine break material since they draw from the bottom of the pot and immediately suck all the break material into the screens where they quickly plug. For the HopBlocker, we utilized preferrential flow to leave the settled fine break material (hops and trub) undisturbed at the bottom of the pot while draining the majority of the wort through a coarse filter from the top down. When the wort level is just a couple inches from the bottom of the pot, the fine filter element is then exposed by lifting the shield and the remainder of the wort is filtered. This way, the fine filter only has to filter a small portion of the wort instead of all of it. The HopBlocker will filter 90-95% of the break material and hops out of your wort without plugging. While it is designed specifically for BoilerMaker pots, it can be installed in any manufacturers pot or keg. Instructions provided.

PLEASE NOTE: The HopBlocker is designed for use with PELLET hops ONLY. Whole loose hope will PLUG the unit. For using with whole hops, or a mix of whole and pellet hops, you need to bag your whole hops in a large muslin grain bag. This will not effect the utilization rate and will result in significantly less wort loss.

Whole Hop Recommendations: Leaf hops are generally not a problem and are trapped by the coarse screen. However, we highly recommend using large muslin grain bags for one main reason: you lose a large amount of wort from leaf hop absorption. Using a bag you can squeeze most of this out and hop utilization is negligibly affected using this method. Lastly, cleanup is significantly easier. This method does not work for pellet hops since they pass through the openings in the muslin bag. On the other hand, nylon fine mesh bags do not readily allow wort to pass through and utilization is reduced.

Installing in non-BoilerMaker pots: The HopBlocker was specifically designed for use in the BoilerMaker line of brew pots. Howeve,r it can be installed in other manufacturers equipment. A 1/2" outside diameter drain tube with a 90 deg bend (not included) will need to be installed 3" from the bottom of the pot. The bottom of the tube should be about 3/8"-1/2" from the bottom of the pot or keg. Since you can't rotate the tube to thread it into the inside of your pot when the tube is inserted into the HopBlocker, you will need a flare or compression connection so you can tighten the tube in-place without turning the tube. Try to locate the tube so that the HopBlocker is as close as possible to the sidewall of the pot. For keg based brew pots, you'll need to install it in the center of the pot since it has a rounded bottom. However, effectiveness of the HopBlocker will be reduced.
