Can you post your part list? I'm looking to do something similar, but with older Blichmann floor burners. I'd love to see a picture for me to get it locked in my head. I have a QD gas valve off my outdoor grill, but I'm wondering where the regulator will be. I don't like the idea of having...

Super interested in trying this. I think I will use a torpedo 15 gallon keg for a 10 gallon batch.

You may have Kegged your beer too soon. The yeast may still have needed to eat some of the sugars. Does the beer have a “sweet” taste? Another possibility is your mash temperature being too high (if you did all grain) if you did an extract batch then this is not a problem. Finally, did you...

I use the JSP Maly Mill - it is great, but I just checked out their page today and it seems they have suffered a fire that destroyed their facilities and are no longer in business. I have a Malt Mill adjustable mill and it is great. I've had it for 5+ years and it still works great. All of...

I apologize for resurrecting this thread, but what are the temperatures that people are fermenting their worts at? I have a keg and spundeling valve, but I'm trying to work out how much temperature control I need to exert. Lagers at 68? Ales free rising? Thanks.

BTW, I thought some of you might be interested in a semi-industrial grain mill. A member of the brewing club I belong to (BURP) has posted it to Craigslist, but I thought you all might be interested. https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/for/d/malt-grain-mill-for-home/6745932093.html -John

I have successful used a JSP mill for about five years. I love it, but I must say it is a lot of dough for something used so infrequently.

This is a great beer, I used a Klosch yeast (2565) - tasted great. I've been thinking of brewing a batch to prepare for Oktoberfest...

It’s best if you can crush closer to the date, but if this is what circumstances permit - that is what you have to do. I’d suggest you store your crushed grains in a sealed 5 gallon bucket (using those spin lids). It will keep a long time and taste better than extract.

I’m in the Rockville area as well. I suggest you check out BURP (www.burp.org). They are an older set, but super knowledgeable and friendly.

I forgot to mention getting the mill is nice, but you will most likely want to motorize it. Williams Brewing has a sweet kit (https://www.williamsbrewing.com/TRIPLE-ROLLER-GRAIN-MILL-MOTORIZING-KIT-P4173.aspx), everything you need to make it work. I had to piece everything together - I’ve...

I’m a big fan of the JSP MaltMill. I’ve had it for 4 or 5 years now and it’s works without a hitch.

That is where I ended up as well (bit higher OG and 1.010 FG) - it tastes great, enjoy!

The hard part is waiting 6mo, 1 and 2 years - but the waiting is really rewarded...

Bem vindo! What are you currently brewing?

I regularly pitch older yeast (6+ months) into 4L starters. My only variable is time, some yeasts finish up in three days others take a week on the stir plate. Cold crash and decant.

Loving this beer! I've been drinking this beer for a week or three and it is great. Thanks a again for the recipe.

+1 pitchers are key and very easy. Plus you'll burn off some of that beer scampering up and down the steps all night...

The yeast calculators are over stated. I've used a single vial of 1+ year old yeast in a yeast starter with a store plate and had fully attenuated beers (fully fermented). I think 5-pacers must be good for 20+ gallons of beer.

I'm interested with wha you find...
