That's just too funny.So, I was walking along and then I fell down, tripped over the lettuce cutter.
No comment...I may have mentioned that... sorry though.... sword fighting is a given.

That's fine, show up for the fight unarmed... we'll just see what happens... could possibly be a good thing...
This is the MLT I'm putting together. What does yours look like?
I am rethinking mine and it's starting to look more like yours now. Thanks for the pics.
So how is a squirrel grinder gonna be a mash tun?
Sorry, I was just mixed up on the terms, I meant to crush the grain, I didn't think the mash tun part was that important, as long as I got it filtered and sparged(I think those are the right words), but rethinking that today and trying to get set up and ready.
You can use one of these in a round cooler with great success. I built a 10 gallon RubberMaid cooler mash tun with one. Just install a 1/2" ball valve through the cooler wall (use the hole the spigot uses originally) and a couple of fittings to go to a 1/2" barb. Then use a short piece of silicone tubing (1/2" ID) to run from the internal barb to the fitting. You can push the ends of the fitting so that they lay flat on the cooler bottom (so turn them 90 degrees at the brass fitting side) while keeping the outlet of the fitting in line with the barb. IMO/IME, a LOT easier than trying to fabricate some convoluted manifold that will take you far longer (and probably not give you any better results).
Inside the cooler will look very similar to this, just with the T screen instead of the straight one.
Or just use a grain bag and do a modified BIAB in the cooler. I would just install at least a 1/2" ball valve in the cooler before you get started that way.
It's already coming together and I think this will be the perfect machine for the job... not going show pics through, til I get my kits and see if it works. Because if it works... then you can't laugh at it.
Says who??
Alright, yeah, you can laugh, but you won't be able to tell me that it'll never work!
We shall see about that... I'll hold off until you've built it and post pictures... Just leave your squirrel squisher to processing squirrel meat...
Yes, hold off... this set up I'm planning might work... we'll see and thanks for the vote of confidence.
Oh, you mean go buy a new one when I already got one? I'm getting it cleaned up, got it taken apart now, dunking it in the hydrogenator, that'll clean it up nice. I must say though, residual squirrel is pretty gross.
And you were just planning to toss the grain right into it, weren't you...
What do you have for a hopper for the squisher?? You need a way to feed the grain to it.
No, I was going to clean it up first...
I have something rigged up for that, grabbed some stuff out of the recycle bin, took a little saw to it and I think I got that part figured out. Super glue is my friend. I'm not sure if I know what you are talking about, but I think I do.
:smack: :smack: :smack:
Why are you smacking your head? Because you don't think it'll work or because you think I completely misunderstood the question?
So will this be a squirrel stout or an acorn brown ale?

Is that a yes or no?
It's a sofa king yeah... Or a fun king brew year!! :fro:
What are you rambling about now?
If you slow down, think about what you are saying before you say it, think about all the fun that would be missed!
Be yourself and don't worry about it. Have a beer, make up some more soup that the dog wont eat and have fun.
New Goal:
Just relax and enjoy life. Ahh, yes, that sounds easier.
You shouldn't give up on rigging up your own stuff. Sometimes buying something is better but sometimes you can make something better.. It just depends on what you need and what you know how to do.
