So you’ve got a few hundred pounds of raisins that you need to caramelize for that Belgian beer you’re making. How do you do it? Pizza oven? Broiler? Barbecue in the back of a pickup?

Well if you’re the nut cases at Port Brewing/Lost Abbey, you dump all your raisins in a hopback, buy a flamethrower and… well, just check out the photo.

By the way — best toy ever. Everyone wants to play with the flamethrower.
