What do you those of you who operate brewpubs or small breweries do regarding turning your boiler on/off? I run a 7 bbl brewpub and am currently brewing 3 times a week. So on non-brewdays I usually have the boiler off. The problem I'm running into is on brewdays. Right now I come in very early in the morning (I live very close by) and turn on the boiler and kettle, leave and then come back an hour+ later to start mashing in.
I'd like to speed things up a bit so I'm wondering how many people have their boilers hooked up to a timer, or just don't turn them off at all (or only turn them off on weekends)?
