Has anyone tried double milling using 2 different mills? Lol! That way an issue with one mill can be cancelled out by using the second mill. And using the most expensive mills will be even better. Lol x2. My Hullwrecker from Northern Brewer works just fine on a once-through.

Also noted is the surplus 5 different answers will be for some question(s) not even asked. Lol

I use a pair of thin lightweight cotton gloves inside the Rubbermaids. It does help some to allow for a longer contact time with a hot grain bag due to the extra insulation. Plus, the cotton absorbs mosture from sweaty hands making the Rubbermaids easier to take off.

You just might be able to use this heat source to brew a batch of beer in your Spike kettle on future camping trips and/or boat rides.

That's a great way for a business that will sure go up in smoke. Later to be renamed "Sinking Flameout' Lol

My basic breakfast smoothie consists of 2 cups skim milk, one cup of dry oatmeal, one frozen peeled bananna, one avocado, sweetner as desired (honey/sugar or other say 2 tablespoons), and a cup or two of ice cubes. Blend until smooth and enjoy. Mmmmm!! A great way to start off the morning to...

Agree completely with a full volume mash. Anything else is just a lot more effort and more stuff to clean, thus overly complicating the process for hardly any worthwhile and meaningful benefit imo. Just adjust your grain bill accordinglly to obtain your target OG and call it good. Full...

Consider hiring a couple of German Bar Maids to take care of the clean-up. Assuming the price is right. Just have them take their time and not be in a hurry. Lol

Sort of reminds me of this bumper sticker... Wife and Dog missing. Reward for Dog. Lol

In the worst case scenarios, all roads would be impassable as well as your vehicle would be inoperable due to damage. And you might be inoperable as well.
