    Monster Mill 3-Roller Adjustment??

    Okay, so I have a dumb question. When we first got our monster mill 3-roller in, it crushed fine but after a few hundred pounds has been crushed, the roller have moved a bit. I tried to adjust it a bit, but need to pick up some feeler gauges to dial it in. The question I have (mill isn't...

    New grain mill!

    Just ordered the Captain Crush from northern brewer, was wondering if anyone had used this and at what setting you set your rollers. Thanks

    Yeast issues!

    I do agree that it is still a bit under pitched.

    Yeast issues!

    Yea I knew there was a possibility of off flavors but I wanted to deny it, lol We had a similar issue with our porter last week and was able to regulate it within a day and she fermenter like crazy. We hit this problem bc temps at night are now in the 30s so the cold room gets colder than 67...

    Yeast issues!

    We brewed a stout last night, pitched the yeast at 78F put it in the cold room and set it to 67F. Checked it today and it dropped overnight to 58F, it's slowly rising back up. And fermentation seems to be activating. Any issues you guys can forsee? Thanks We pitched .5L 1084 into 1bbl

    Off on SG/OG??

    Did some testing today, looks like it takes 2.5gal before it hits the valve. I say with the added pump 2gal is left in both mash and boil kettle.

    Off on SG/OG??

    Agreed on the dip tube! It's on order! I'll go with the 1.5qts. Seems as though another gallon would have done the trick. With 10gal mash and 17.5gal sparge we were just 1gal shy on our pre boil wort. Seems as though more water for mags would have given us a better gravity reading and allowed...

    Off on SG/OG??

    It's 40gal kettles. It takes 3gal for the water to top the false bottom in each kettle. It's prob more like 1.5gal loss as the valve sits a bit lower than the false bottom. I'm using 1.5-3gal as a reference as we normally do 2bbl batches and put into a 80gal fermenter

    Off on SG/OG??

    So we were off on our SG which in turn made us off on our OG today for an Amber Ale. Batch size is 15gal and grain bill is 31 gal. We have 3gal equip loss and 3gal trub loss. Initial mash gal was supposed to be 10gal (per brew365 calc), but I just don't think this was enough! The water...
