    Hoegaarden

    I've seen a lot of clone recipes but all of them end up like blue moon. Blue moon is ok, but a true Hoegaarden clone recipe would be great. I've seen various recommendations for spices including: orange peel coriander chamomile clove cumin garam masala I have tried orange peel...

    RIMS Build

    Update 09-10-10 The system is complete aside from a few aesthetic and convenience modifications! This thread is fairly long so I'll summarize the key points here.

    This motor severe overkill for my mill?

    I have a 6" 3-roller monster mill. My corded drill is struggling with this thing and I have to run it full speed or it'll lock up. The grain is shot out more than it's actually being crushed. I've been looking for motors and I'd prefer to have a direct driven motor. I found this used bodine...

    Question about grain mill speed

    The engineer in me wants to maximize my efficiency. I have a 3-roller monster mill and my drill can't supply enough torque at low speeds without locking up, so I often have to run it at full speed. I imagine the crush is not as good as it could be. Does milling speed make a difference? Would...
