I have the Bayou Classic SP10. The thing is a beast! The SP50 is the same burner if you prefer the tall legs instead of the short profile.

I'd like to see the grain bill on that recipe out of morbid curiosity.

I would consider a 10g brew pot. I had an 8g when I jumped to all grain and I ended up having to lower the starting volume and add 1g top off water to the fermenter due to the boil off of the banjo burner. I got a 10g prior to my last brew day and life is good doing full wort boils now.

^^^^ This.

That's very close to a Newcastle clone recipe I have. Keep the Black Patent malt to 1 oz. and you should be good.

Agreed. Reading your post, you've been at 1.012 for 10 days. General consensus is 3 days straight and fermentation is over and you are safe to bottle.

I switched after four batches. Second best thing I've done for my brewing. First was going all grain.

I'm sure it's salvageable, but I personally couldn't drink or serve Maggotwein.

I use a number system. My first was a Newcastle clone so... 1-Newcastle clone, etc. I got a sharpie and wrote a "1" on the bottle caps after bottling. A quick look in the storage spot and I knew what I had. I've moved on to kegging, but I keep the numbers for batches for keeping straight in...
