    Split bushing for grain mill?

    I'm putting together a pulley system for my grain mill and the larger pulley I have requires a bushing to connect to the mill's shaft. Do you think this split bushing would slip on the rollers or should it power it just fine?

    infected starter?

    I'm planning on brewing today. I noticed these bulb like things coming up from within the yeast layer.

    Hiccup in the boiling process

    I'm on my third batch of beer and I thought I read to add all the DME and the 1/2 gallon LME after steeping the grains. However I was supposed to only add the LME with 15 minutes left on the clock during the hops boil. Will adding the LME earlier in the process yield dramatically different...
