My Little Shopping Trip

I paid a visit to Mr. Steves' HBS in York, Pa. today. It was my first time there. Very nice shop, indeed. I picked up a few items to try out my new Barley Crusher mill.

That's a fifty # sack of Maris Otter on the right. I did'nt get any US 2-row this time. Maybe next time. I'm brewing something tomorrow. I don't know what yet, but I'm brewing something!Maybe a nice IIPA. Whatever I brew, I'll be pitching the Dead Guy/Pacman yeast that I washed this week.

Looks like a great beer...OH...is that for more than one batch

I've been there a couple of times.

HOLLY CRAP!!

Jealous!!

Your very close watch out or i might stalk ya!

That looks absolutely incredible, man. Did you just walk in and ask for one of everything?

Pretty much. In my short brewing career, (20 something batches) I've not yet made the same thing twice. I figure I may as well be prepared for just about anything. Kinda like a boyscout, ya know! "Be Prepared"

Anyway, I've decided to brew the BrewPastors "Indigenous IPA" with just a couple small tweaks, just for the hell of it. I've milled my grain, made my starter and I'm ready to brew tomorrow! BTW the Barley Crusher mill works great!

Cool! Did you hand crank it or use a drill? Change any settings?

Mine just arrived and I have to wait till Friday before I get to grind the inaugural grain.

I did about 20 seconds of hand cranking and then attached the drill. You definitely want to use a drill. I didn't change the factory setting and got a great crush. I brewed today and my OG was 065, compared to my target of 063. Fly sparge went off without a hitch. I maybe shoulda got the extra large grain bin like you did.

That bag of MO looks like is is flour. Was it crushed?

No, It's just a solid white tight mesh kind of bag.
