That there is a fine crush alright. Those rasted grains reek havoc on my sparge when their done too finely. They're like liquid paste.

The look on my face when I cracked open the ball valve and next to nothing came out must have been priceless (course my language wasn't too pretty). I figured I was in for trouble when I noticed how shredded the husks were and the general condition of the crush before mashing in...'course that had to happen on this grain bill.

Videos! Brew the 888 in nearly real time with me today!

I'm uploading the videos as I take them, so they're only about 10 minutes old by the time they hit YouTube. Here's the first of the series:

I'm planning on doing it this Saturday. Had too much company to do it this week. Making trips to the airport for the last three days.
