Good day all. I was wondering if you could use the below pic as a oat roller as well as a barley mill might have a Easyer time getting by my wife if I can use it to roll out some Oats. Oats would be higher in moisture and would get rolled out into flakes.( Do the expand well enough for that? )...

Yeah how much space is usually required. The sheet has a curve to it how ever probably not enough.

We have these stainless steel screens at work. The holes are around 5/64th's was wondering about using that to create a mash tun false bottom? Or is that to course of a hole? Will attach some pics this one is a lower grade and has some rust on it. Won't be using it. Is there any huge differents...

Wow haha that is fantastic thanks for the link! Gunna be bookmarking that one! Here I was stressing over it and doing the math right and it's only .007 differents no biggy for the second all grain ever. First 5gallon. Cheers!:mug:

Thanks for the help! Math is not my strong point!

Ah you know what I did was I thought you had to have 23 liters for 5 US gallons but 23 liters is 6 US gallons while 23 liters is also 5 gallons confusing hate living in Canada some times because we have both systeme. They teach metric in school but then you go out and get a job and it's all...

Good day everyone. I am working on my first 5gallon SMaSH beer and realised my kettle is not big enough so I added some water after the boil the problem is that I forgot to take OG after adding the water. I was wondering if there is any math one could do to figure what the OG was after adding...

That stuff on the bottom is referred to as trub i belive. It's just your solids such as the hops. And fine bits from the grains and pectin and other stuff. It's just settling out of the liquid. like how sand and silt settle out of dirty water. (All brews will do this wine beer mead just beer is...

I brewed my first all-grain beer a while ago. Messed up my calculations on the water that i needed. But in the end, it turned out great. I did have some pics but my google backup filled up (preventing me from receiving emails from here and thusly locking up my account) and I thought I was...

first off sorry for the very late response, spring finally hit here and have been working outside almost none stop. finally got a little break in so that i could look at my post and this forum. Awesome, those links would be great! I have a hard time pulling up old posts have tried a few times...

Oh? I thought distilled was not great to use as it's lacking all the minerals and otherwise flavours but its still better then the junk in my tap.

Hey all I was thinking about getting my water from the grocery store for my beer as far as I can tell its just reverse osmosis and not distilled. My tap water is drinkable but its high ph and has something in it if you boil water in the same pot it leaves a film on the pot and after boiling...

Thanks. Good to keep in mind. Also grain size the stuff i have is from a feed mill so one kernal can very greatly from the next. Some getting destroyed some skipping the mill all together. I just went for a genrial not to much tear and not to much whole stuff. Atleast for my first run. Here...

Whole kernels won't be able to be converted or sugars extracted? Or do they give off flavors

How do you all feel about this grind? ( not using the proper mill as i am budget-restricted and just using what i have. )
