Great this the stuff I'm looking for. Hopefully some people with the rebel mill and malt mill can add info.

I am in the market for a grain mill for the first time and I want to collect some facts about as many mills as possible. I've read many other threads but none seem to have much as far as hard facts about each persons spacing, efficiency and so on. So please post what mill you have, what your...

i got my idea from my wvo diesel car i use to have and was wondering if anyone has tried applying this idea to a brew rig. the basic idea is to take a piece of copper or stainless steel tube, connect silicone tubing to each end, one end goes to a pump the other returns to the top of cooler. then...
