    Florida 5 Gallon Electric HERMS system

    The HERMS coil started life as an immersion chiller I purchased from Adventures in Homebrewing. I decided to re-use it as the HERMS coil after building my counterflow chiller

    Florida 5 Gallon Electric HERMS system

    Sorry to get everyone all excited. I live it Pensacola, but visit family in Atlanta often. Go back over my post history and you will see pictures of the rig from July of 2012. If anyone has any questions they can message me and I'll send my phone number.

    SOLD 5 Gallon Electric HERMS system $750 shipped in the lower 48 $650 for local pickup I built this rig inspired by Kal and thelectricbrewery.com in March of 2012.

    Power For Grainmill???

    Thanks for further illustrating my point. The drill has a peak torque of 455 in/lb under the best condition, and it can barely run the mill. So can anyone explain how a gearmotor rated at 30 in/lb can run the same mill without breaking a sweat?

    Power For Grainmill???

    Interesting....Prior to purchasing the gear motor, I ran my mill with a cordless drill. It's peak torque rating is 455 in/lbs...and although it did the job it was clearly a workout for the drill. There is an obvious mismatch in the specs here (30 in/lbs for the gear motor vs 455 in/lbs for the...

    Power For Grainmill???

    Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe the torque spec is for the motor (minus the gear housing) So there are two factors in play, the torque of the motor and the reduction ratio of the gear box. In my case, the motor is 30 in/lb, with a 16.5:1 reduction ratio (1750rpm/106rpm). So my...

    Power For Grainmill???

    No, I understand how the couplers work, the issue is with Jammin's choice of language....what he MEANT was you can get couplings with different bore diameters, but the same OD. What he SAID was you can mate a 1/2" shaft (from a motor or mill) to a 5/8 (coupling) Perhaps he could edit to...

    Power For Grainmill???

    While the set screw is probably long enough to make this work, I advise against this. If you put a 5/8" bore coupler on a 1/2" shaft, the center of rotation of the coupler will be offset by 1/8". Worst case it would bind, best case you would wear our your hub/spyder rather quickly.

    Power For Grainmill???

    Yes, you can buy them mix n match.....I picked mine up as a set on ebay for about $12 from seller "carolbrent" AKA Hubbard CNC *edit for clarity* The couplers I used are the "L" type, in the "070" size Lovejoy couplers are sold in a variety of sizes. Each size is available with a variety of...

    Power For Grainmill???

    Thanks. In my opinion, slower is better. The crush looks fantastic. Husks are split but mostly in one piece. I actually did some experimenting with different gap settings and conditioned vs un-conditioned. (link to pictures below) http://imgur.com/a/sebY7 I settled on a gap of .045 and...

    I bought one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/106-RPM-120V-Electric-Gear-Motor-FREE-SHIPPING-/190510520509?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5b4fd8bd and connected it to my Barley Crusher with a lovejoy coupling. The thing is a beast and doesn't break a sweat even when starting with hopper...

    Integrated Kitchen Brewery/Keezer build

    If you rotate those pump heads 90º so that the outlet is on top (inlet on bottom) they will prime easier (also helps them drain better after cleaning) *edit - nice work by the way!

    1/2" conduit punch, last minute ebay

    You bet. If you are still looking, here is the place I bought my punches. Very reasonable prices and the quality is decent. http://www.radiodaze.com/category/83.aspx

    1/2" conduit punch, last minute ebay

    I don't believe this size is appropriate for what you want to do. A 1/2" conduit punch makes a 7/8" (22mm) hole, but a radio or chassis punch makes holes in the size listed. Assuming the description in the listing is correct, this would create 1/2" holes, which are too small for the 1/2" NPT...
