I was wondering if anyone has any ideas, on how to fireproof the burner chamber on the left. I want to go electric with it one day, but for now, it's going to be propane fired. So i need to line the chamber with something, and I am going through different ideas, and none that seem good. And...

I wanted it to be all in one, so the mill had to be there, with a place for a bucket. The right switch controls the mill. Which right now, is just a milwaulkee drill with the trigger pulled about 1/4 of the way. But it works great.

Well it's been about a year since I moved in with my in-laws, and the brewing has ceased to exist. Well I just couldn't take it anymore. Last week I brewed a extract batch, that's currently in the fermenter, I cleaned up and tweaked my kegerator, and then Thursday I realized I was missing...

Sorry I have not been on here in a while, moving back in with the inlaws put a stop to my homebrewing. But I can't take it any more, so I started getting things back together, when I realized the screw on the regulator would not screw in and out. I bought it from Austin Homebrew about a year...

I want some pics!!! Of the mill and the milled grain. Is that too much ask?

Well, the point is to boil the wort in the flask/beaker. That way you sanitize them both at the same time....Just my honest opinion.

:ban::off::ban:

That's funny cause I do that a lot too. I know I have not got any of my friends brewing yet, but I have gotten a lot of them trying micros now.

I couldn't tell you, I have not had to replace mine yet. 4 or 5 outta each so i dunno yet.

I use the generic "sun oxygen cleaner" from dollar general. Seems to work great for me. I soak everything in it, bottles, kegs, cat, spoons, etc. Even my aluminum hlt once. Wow did that thing oxidize fast. It took hours with a brillo pad, to make that thing shine again..................

For cleaning the bags out, I might be crazy, but right after the brewing, i shake the majority of the hops out, and then I sit them somewhere to completely dry out over night. The next day, I just rub it together and the hops just crumble away. And then I just rinse sanitize and put in a...
