Everything needed to run the system.

I don't have any other pics right now but I'll get some up here tomorrow.

Fully functional eHERM system, in good shape, less than two years old. Six 42 gallon fermenters fitted with leg extensions, casters, and tri-clamp fittings. $18,000 for the whole thing, or $9,000 for system, and $1,700 each for fermenters. Located in Osage,IA.

I've had my MM3 for about six months. I've had problems with it jamming from the very first use but could always make it work after adjusting the bottom roller. All of a sudden it just stopped working. I've adjusted it every which way, cleaned the rollers, oiled with vegetable oil; nothing...

I just use a drill.

I've had my MM3 for a few months now and it crushes great; but just about every time I use it the non-driven roller jams up with crushed grain. I unjam it by reaching under it and moving the roller until it's clear and then it will work fine again. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem...

Cool, thanks.

And then it gets a crusty film on the inside? I just did that to my primary carboy. How do I get that crap off? I tried my carboy cleaner that fits into my drill, but that didn't work. It's like cement.

Thanks. The recipe was just 10 lbs of 2-row and 1 of crystal. It was an IPA so lots of hops. The yeast was some 1056 that I harvested and cleaned during brewing. Maybe I used too much?

Usually by the time primary fermentation is over the krausen has gone away, but sometimes it sticks around until I transfer to secondary. I currently have one that I'm thinking is ready to transfer, yet the krausen has stayed where it peeked; almost the top of my 6.5 gallon carboy. Is there any...

I've just recently started getting into harvesting and still not sure how to tell how much I should use. I currently have about 1/2 cup of Wy 1010 in my fridge that is pretty compacted and looks pretty pure. Is there any way to estimate cell count by cups or ml? Thanks

I appreciate your rambling, thanks much. I think I have a better understanding now.
