Just to clarify Spellman, I live in Rio de Janeiro, with a 109ºF summer. That's why I would like to create a cold chamber. Not to put all the fermenters in a standard temp, but to avoid that the 109ºF in the summer make my future Glycol Chiller work too much. The idea is to: 1 - Use a Temp...

Hi guys! I'm trying to put together a 3 tier HERMS setup and I'm facing a problematic issue. Here at my country There's no ASCO valves (the one I know for a fact that many homebrewers use) and had been asking myself if I can use some of the generic ones that I can found Here. They are...

Hi guys! I'm having a little problem with my new DIY plans and would like some help with it. Could you guys help me a little? I make small batches (15 gallon each) and have only one fridge, which is a problem, a HUGE problem (because I love brewing, who doesn't?). But instead of buying a...

Never find it before. here the only alternative to corona is this ****ty chinese piece of crap:

I didn't know that the maltbite was working in other LATAM countries, that's nice. here we usually have chinese mills or the US imported ones. They have to get their sh*t together through. I'll try to fine someone to do this. thanks for the tip. Try to make a brown ale with the toasted...

nuhvadah, just like Brasil, Argentina is kind of blooming in home brewing and craft breweries... If only the crisis there wasn't that ****tup I would move there (Brasil is not grate either). Did you said he has a Maltbite or a similar one? the wheels from mine are not knurled, just horizontal...

Just checked if theres any shop in Brazil who sell Monter Mills... 750 Dollars here... and the shipping is not covered... OMG...

Homercidal, I'm thinking about changing my brew protocol and do exactly this: 1 - Try a different mill (a better one) 2 - Split the water I use to make a Sparge at mash out But about a sparge, what do you guys think? I would prefere to make a batch sparge. Pull all the wort of the kettle...

yeah beersk, i'm pretty sure he is the one... I'm watching a few videos and the rolls are VERY different from the american mills I'm seeing here... The rolls of my mill are horizontal lines only, but the american mill's I'm seeing have loads of lines on different directions.

Hello, I'll try to record a video of the next time I'll use it. It works ok for a little time, but out of nowhere he just stop "pulling" the grains and I have to star to open the regulators until they start falling again and close them fast to crush the grains again.

oljimmy, When I've started brewing I was getting awful grains, but since capitalism is not always a bad thing, because of this awful only store in the city, they opened two more and the game definitely move up. Now (including this awful last brew i narrated) the grains are more than perfect!

hi Homercidal, thanks for your reply. As always, the US community ROCKS! About the mill. One wheel rotates with a drill machine, the other one is a wheel that rotates too, but not because of the drill machine... but because of the grains, that then breaking, for the wheel to rotate... I was...

Hi guys, thanks to all for reading this... I having a lot of problems with my home brewing setup and since the Brazilian communities like to do "picuinhas" (idiot discussions) sometimes, instead of discussing real and constructive propositions. I'm looking for help from all of you. I admire...

Hi, the problem is that it's very hard (aka impossible) to find a Honeywell pilot here in my country, so I'm stuck with Electric igniters...

In that case, would be an SSR between the PID controller and the timed relay?
