sorry to bump this thread needlessly, but just wanted to let everyone know that I sent mine back and the guy from Barley Crusher sent me a new one back. Great customer service from that company.

what exactly do you mean by unevenly? reason i ask is because i have a 3/8 chuck and the rod pretty much fits snugly in there.

I agree with this. I searched these forums for a problem like the one I had and didn't really find anything about the barley crusher other than people liking it. From what I've seen everyone is decently happy with it. And, like Pol mentioned, they are very responsive. I didn't mention it...

I don't want to say 100% but that's always what it seems like to me. For whatever reason the grain doesn't fall into the gap and, so the grain just kind of rolls on top of both rollers. Not sure if that's what really happens or if it makes sense for that to happen, but that's what it seems...

you know, i was thinking that when i was leaving my original post, but unfortunately, i can't take any pictures now because that old co2 tank that i was talking about is out and i need to take it to airgas to see if they will exchange with me w/out charging me the recertification fee, so I...

flic, I've never seen mine actually smoke, but it certainly has a slight burnt smell to it, if i keep the trigger pressed down light enough for it not to spin. However, I have to admit that mine is like this literally every time, so I'm going to go ahead and send it back and see how it works.

I've also had that problem too with the barley crusher. It's almost like the grain just doesn't weigh itself down enough to go through the rollers. I also had to empty the entire hopper, which I'm sure you found is more than a pain, but I got the 10lb hopper, so it isn't as bad. And, same...

I've actually never naturally carbed or bottled any of my beers so my only experience in drinking my home brew is through the force carbing with the CO2, so I can't really say I've noticed any off flavors, but I have no real comparison other than drinking the uncarbed beer from the secondary...

Sorry if this topic has been discussed, but I honestly couldn't figure out a way to search for it, since I can't fully explain the problem myself. I am using my father's old kegerator and co2 tank but with a new regulator (co2 tank is old, just went out of date in fact and the old faucet...

yooper, thanks for the reply, and i believe you may be exactly right. The rod coming from my mill is also bent a little, but I honestly wasn't sure if that was the problem because it spins so easily with no grain. With you having the same exact problem, it would be odd if that isn't the case...

Hi everyone, first post here besides my welcome post, so I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I am using the barley crusher with this drill http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=295379-79992-DR350FD&lpage=none and I seem to be having a problem. Basically, the...

Thanks for the welcome guys

Bobby M, thanks for the reply. (in response to your post in the other thread) I've heard of WHALES, first from the beer at JJ Bittings and then after searching around a little bit when I started doing this. I will have to check it out soon. As far as doing all grain and boiling on the...

Just posted in another welcome thread, and sort of introduced myself, but here is mine. I'm from Belle Mead, NJ. I've been into drinking craft beer for a couple of years, and finally decided to start making my own. Our apt complex doesn't allow us to have any propane burners outside, so I...

Just joined the site today. I am somewhat new to homebrewing, only started about a month ago, and I've only brewed 3 beers so far. Just got the corny keg setup going, so I'm happy about that. Saw that you were from central NJ, so I figure I will post a reply. I'm from Belle Mead. Just...
