Milling under water at mash temperatures.......

I can across this concept while reading this book.

Now, I just have to figure out how to get my ugly junk Corona knock off to work underwater.........:rockin:

Does anybody know a brewery that uses the Hydromill?

Is it revolutionary, or just a novelty?

...Interested...

It looks like its best benefits are for commercial scale brewing.

Ridonkulous05 · Sep 18, 2010

...Without a doubt-

-but are any commercial breweries actually using these, and to what effect?

Kai was talking about it on an efficency podcast. I can't remember if it's brewstrong or basic brewing.

I agree it's only going to benefit the pros. Not much use in hb'ing

Yeah. I have a lathe I need to get working. If I'm going to build a mill I don't think building one for under water would be that much harder. I just don't know if it would be worth the extra effort.

New Belgium has been using wet milling since 2002

That's a really cool link ... thanks

Wet milling (malt conditioning) benefits brewing at all levels.

However, "hydro milling" underwater at mash-in temperature sounds a bit impractical at the homebrew level.

Sierra Nevada also wet mills. I've seen it at the brewery. It's pretty bad ass.

IIRC, I heard someone say only two breweries in the US are using wet mills, I suppose that means SNBC and New Belgium are the only ones.
