Ok, for comparison, here is my running Propeller ESB "clone". Every time I brew I end up tweaking something. I really just aim to brew a great ESB and don't necessarily follow my clone recipe to the T. I personally use flaked barley instead of flaked wheat but I've read somewhere that...

Hi bendit, I've been brewing a Propeller inspired ESB for a while now too. I'll post more details later since I'm out on my phone now. FYI they use Ringwood yeast. I haven't used Ringwood yet but I've used wyeast London ESB and it was awesome.

I got mine from http://www.biab-brewing.com/ and put it through it's paces. It's great.

Thanks for the lead, dlaney. Is this where you found that info: Nate O.'s Brew Log - Candi syrup secrets, and how to make your own That guy seems to know what he's talking about so I'll try it that way as well sometime. I've done the sugar #5 a few times and also recently got my hands on...

csamson, what size pot did you use and were there any issues with with cooking that much sugar?

Hey man you should head over to Brewnosers.org, we have some Newfies over there that could answer this. ;)

I wish I could judge the SRM but this stuff is really, really dark. I think my last batch was darker.

Paint can heater, google it. Its a light bulb of your wattage choice mounted inside an aluminum paint can. Simple build. I've been using one in my ferm chamber for a long time and it works great, nice and gentle heat.

Hey everyone. A month or so ago I made a couple pounds of sugar #5 and it turned out really, really well. I was very happy with the complexity of flavour. Candi Syrup Starting to Boil by Hot Pepper Daddy, on Flickr Candi Syrup Almost Done by Hot Pepper Daddy, on Flickr Nice...

If you're usising dry yeast then aeation is going to have less of an impact since the dry yeast contains enough lipids required for the cell walls or whatever.

I did that as well and also put a 90 degree elbow on the top with a notch in it to rest on the edge of my BK. I marked it in 2 litre increments from 18-50L.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I had the same idea and this turned up in a search. Have you had any success with this?

And that's the reason I wear work boots when I brew! Ouch, I hope you heal up good.

I did that too and used tin tape for the flap and around the edges.

Well I guess mine's done enough to finally post. It's been a work in progress for over a year. I got it up and running a few months ago and have done 5 brews on it so far. -Indoor all electric. -One vessel, BIAB (Brew In A Bag). -One pump for mash recirculation, etc. -400 CFM fan. -All...

I'd certainly keep the melanoiden malt, I've used it at 5% of the grain bill and it's great even at that amount. Since you're using light minuch you could get away with using a little more and could reduce the pils if you wanted. I would also get rid of the carabrown but if you've used it...

Go Brewnosers! ;)

My steel control panel; well, actually this is a 10x10x4, I'm using an identical 12x12x6. Control Panel Box by Hot Pepper Daddy, on Flickr Should I use a steel backing plate?/ If so, how would I go about adding one? Thanks.

I have the _exact_ same issue with my refractometer.

I would but my ceramic stove top has a hard time keeping that much up to a good boil. Otherwise, good plan, and it certainly helps with efficiency. I'm working on a basement brewery so this setup is only temporary (although dragging on, lol).
