So I'm narrowing down my "mistakes" in all of my last batches and the main culprits have been poor crush, off water temps, and off fermentation temps. Today I started a batch and was determined to get the crush better after seeing pics and reading up on the correct crush. Well I use a victoria crusher/mill and discovered that the "crush" I have been getting is about 30% intact 30% flour, and 60% ok crush. Since I couldn't make it any better than that I decided to just call it off and order the real deal and try again later. Astringency has been a problem in every batch I've ever made and I think the crush is the culprit. The reviews for the barley crusher are awesome, so I'm really excited! :ban:
 
Shameless plugs are a part of having a successful business!
I plug my stuff on every gun forum on the internet!
 
You will not be disappointed! The BC is amazing... my efficiency went from 63% to a consistent 80% within two batches...Enjoy!
 
I think that equals 120%. That sure is one way to stretch your grain dollar. :D

I thought I was the only one checking the math. Barley Crushers are the whip, I got mine from the mfg. direct with no shipping cost. Of course, I live about 20 miles from the mfg, so that explains the shipping cost. I also received some free advice on setting it up, as well as care and maintenance and I have not looked back.
(now let's see if I get ripped for my abuse of the English language.

Your post reads as if you're soliciting criticism of your writing.......but in comparison with most of what I read on the Internet on a daily basis, it isn't bad. So- I'll refrain.

I would be interested on what the Barley Crusher manufacturer told you in the way of setup & maintenance that isn't covered in the standard instructions. Feel free to elucidate......

Elucidate - what to say when "explain in detail" just isn't enough.
