Should work. 1/3 horse might be a bit low, but I would give it a try. Like a 1 inch sheave on the motor and a 10 inch sheave on the mill. This will reduce the RPMs to 150 and provide a bit of torque.

Attached an image from http://www.blocklayer.com/pulley-belt.aspx to help you get the picture, forgive the fact that the size and distances are in mm.

So, you want to reduce the speed to 175-200 or so RPM for milling. Source (motor) - 1725 Desired (mill) - 200 1725 / 200 = 8.625 so, a ration of 8.625:1 If you use a 2" diameter v-belt sheave on your motor (pretty common), you will need one 8.625 times larger, or 17.25" diameter on...

The easiest relative route would probably a wide piece of PVC that could accommodate both lines and allow you to push cold air up from the fridge to keep them cool. Although I think that could lead to condensation issues and loss of energy by losing a bunch of cold air from the fridge. The...

You got it. You can put in the fridge the morning of your brew day or night before. The yeast will fall out of suspension and settle to the bottom in a nice white cake. Take it out when you start your brewing and let it sit at room temp. I personally decant (pour) off most of the spent wort from...

I've done it. Older model 1970's avocado green westinghouse. Nothing much to worry about, there were wires running from the back to the little door closed switch in the front though. I didn't cut, just popped the plastic off the inside of the fridge and freezer and punched through the insulation.

That's always a great tour! Especially if you're with people who don't want their drink tokens, haha.

Holy crap! Nice work! Is that a dogfish head tap handle?! Where'd you come upon that?

You are correct Walker, I am looking build a single tier rims type system, taking some examples from the brutus ten and other systems. Leaving room for future automation or semi-automation. I am a professional web developer with a degree in software engineering / computer science / mathematics...
