    Motorized mill, power transfer

    Some mills come with a hand crank, which you can turn at 50-100 RPM. So, 84 RPM will work. For parts you could try; http://www.farmandfleet.com/ There is one in Madison. These might work for direct drive...

    Wisconsin homebrew fermentation in winter / Brewer's Best Belgian Golden Ale

    Sorry again, I should have elaborated. I plan on leaving the brew at an ambient of 66*-67* for 2 weeks and moving to the cellar (upper 50's) for a month. NO SECONDARY.

    Wisconsin homebrew fermentation in winter / Brewer's Best Belgian Golden Ale

    Sorry for the split response, didn't have enough time last night. I have a Belgian brew with O.G. 1.094 fermenting right now in my kitchen at an ambient of 66*-67* using Danstar Belle Saison. Pitched the yeast at 70* and put the carboy on a folded towel to insulate from the kitchen counter...

    Partial Mash Temperature Question

    Partial Mash Temp Issues
