UPS just arrived!

...and would you look at what he dropped off at my front door! :rockin:





I'll be breaking it in tomorrow with 25 lbs of Marris Otter and another 5 lbs in specialty grains.

For those of you that have The Barley Crusher, anything I should know?

Why did you order a pic of Bogie ???

Kidding - really nice. You should really enjoy it, plus you'll pay for it by being able to order sacks of whole, instead of pounds of crushed.

So, I have to ask, where did you have to move the bed in order to fit that in your house?

What bed? I sleep in the bathtub...

when I'm not using it as a mashtun.

After I break into your condo tonight you won't have a Barley Crusher anymore, that's all you need to know.

LMFAO!!! That one piece of equipment would solve all my brewing frustrations. Looks nice.

The UPS guy has been busy! Got mine Wed! Gotta re-cut my keg tops (to fit the false bottom in), drill & install my bulkheads, & then get some raw materials to totally screw up. Beer by Labor Day!

I used this yesterday and got 75% efficiency with the factory settings.

A cluttered apartment?

Did the little black O Ring fall off? I was worried at first but it seems common to the Barley Crusher. I have adjusted mine down a bit to .033 and not stuck mashes yet.


Did you hand crank all the grain?

No problems with the O ring. I hooked mine up to a power drill which seemed to work great.

Hmmm, looks like I have somewhere to go crush my grains now!

 

[BierMuncher]

I don't like you anymore.

I love mine! My little black O-ring came off ~3-4 batch and I never replaced it b/c most people told me "that happens" and not to worry. Been using it for two years now sans O-ring with no problems!

Yes...a few important points:

1. This machine rocks FACES.
2. That little black o-ring is supposedly just for factory adjustment purposes, and it'll probably fall off within 3 uses. Just to be sure you don't lose it in your mash (like I almost did), I'd suggest cutting it off now.
3. Ummm...this machine rocks FACES!

Welcome to the BC club, brother! We're a scraggly, ramshackle bunch, but we know how to brew some damn beer.
