Today's BBB Friday is a follows Brinner: Savory waffles with fried egg, goat cheese, avocado, shredded basil and a roasted red bell pepper sauce Beverage: Choice of Mimosa, Beermosa, or Screwdriver Bad Movie: Jaws 3

yeah, a belt from one of the top rollers to the bottom would help. I wonder, if you wedge a piece of wood into the desired gap between top and bottom rollers, it should prevent it from starting to roll the wrong way and fall out when it starts to roll the correct way. Also, it would also be...

Starting and stopping is a separate issue that I believe to be a design flaw in the hopper. Others have made modifications to their hopper that significantly reduces feeding problems. In fact, something that I need to test soon, I have heard/read that putting a gallon water jug upside down...

I have an MM3 that is not geared, no issues with efficiency (84%+) Edit: I have been wanting the geared M3, but now I think I'll pass

Welp, looks like there is an issue with 3 roll mills that have the top 2 rollers geared. Not sure how to help you on this one

Is that a quintuple Eye-PA? Hadn't heard that the code was cracked on the illusive Quad IPA yet :P

I like the vaccum breaker idea, especially considering I am using this on converted Sanke with a much small diameter opening. I will definitely try zip-tying a piece of tubing to the rotary ball stem. My only issue with a tub/tote is that I plan on using 4 lengths of 1" PVC as a floating...

OP only asked for a recommendation on an electric brew system, no AIO specified. All recs are still OT

yeah, I'm currently saving for that get tanked edition spike kettle.

Bought the PVC parts to assemble a keg washer so that I can wash my fermenters when I bottle next. Also, have a pump and small spray ball on the way from Amazon. Forgot the bucket though, stupid bucket.

C120 - Residual sweetness, Dark fruit flavors Pale Chocolate - not sure why this is here, presumably a light chocolate note Black malt - Color Melanoidin - Biscuit notes Special roast - toasty and biscuity (similar to a Biscuit Malt) Kind of a whole lot of nonsense except maybe the C120 if you...

I have an old (2011) Monster Mill MM3, no gearing, and I mill at 0.025". Sometimes the start is a little rocky, but I think that has more to do with the way the hopper is designed rather than the gap. Mostly because that initial gap cannot be adjusted and once it is through the first set of...

^^^ this is better. Don't overcomplicate things. Pull off a quart of first runnings and boil down to a syrup if you want to get fancy.

Almost looks like a bear trap

Had another bottle at 4 weeks and there was a little tartness coming through that I was enthused with. Had another bottle this weekend (7 weeks?), still has a tiny bit of an edge to it, but the tartness seems to have faded. I am going to have to brew a couple batches of this late winter or...
