[Jake]

Can't do the 2-row unfortunately. Gettin down to the 30 pound range with alot of brewspirations.

[Kyle]

I'm supplying him with a bag of Marris Otter

[Duncan]

Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm set up with Jake and Kyle to get some Vienna and Maris Otter on the weekend, so I should be able to amuse my self with that for a bit.
One question for John; I believe you have one of those propane fired turkey fryers? Did you have to adjust the air supply to get the flame blue? Mine is sooting up the bottom of the pot and has way too much orange in it but I don't see a change when I rotate the air inlet control valve...maybe I need some hammer engineering...

[Dean]

is it brand new, Duncan? It might just be the oil coating burning off

[JohnQ]

I don't have the propane powered unit, not sure who does, Dave maybe?

Hi Dean, maybe so. The instructions mentioned that the silver paint on the cast iron burner head would set up hard after heating, but I would have thought that a couple of hours would have done the trick. Would you think that more mix air would be a solution for a yellow flame versus less air?

[Dean]

yeah a couple of hours is definitely enough time to clean it all up, and yes you are correct ...more air rather than less air to turn the flame from yellow to blue. Does the flame otherwise look good or is it spitting and sputtering and angry looking?

[Ian Grant]

Your gonna have some soot on the bottom of your pot regardless but i know on my fryer i have a reg that can make the flame higher or lower.  I wouldn't play with the air cause it should already be preset.

[Duncan]

Dean, Ian, I've got the air 80% max, which is more or less where it was factory set and I guess that's all the range I have to play with. Do you guys have turkey fryers? And if so, do you run them max fuel when you're coming up to a temperature? I've been using 3/4 throttle with propane economy in mind.

[Ian Grant]

No I don't run max probably half but it's up to you how fast you want to come up to temp.  When bringing your wort up to temp take it slower cause you may scorch it and when it's about to boil you need to watch out for boil over.
