Go for Pac-Man. I also used octoberfest yeast with very good results too MO will give much more complexity. I made side by side batches with MO VS 2-row and there is no comparison. MO all the way.

I'm looking forward to Basic Brewing's Instant Pot IPA video. I tried using our 8qt instant pot for an all grain batch with mild success... my issue was the calculated boil-off was way too much (set to 1 gal/hr is for my 10.5gal biab kettle). I just heated the mash water up to the correct...

I agree with everything said so-far. I have been brewing using a SPA panel since I moved off the kitchen stove. My old house had a 4-wire dryer which I plugged my spa panel into while brewing (also. my chiller water went into the washer :) ). My current house is new construction and my...

I saw a post last night about thin mashes being problematic with bru'n water. I lowered the water used, and that actually lowered the PH further which I thought was odd. I'm using distilled as my base water as my city water is surface water and will change throughout the year. I thought that...

I was getting ready to brew tomorrow, last step being water. I entered everything into Bru'n Water but can't get the PH up to where I want. Calculated Mash PH 5.2. For Black beers, should be closer to 5.4 for smoother Roast. I'm using BIAB, 8.2 gallons distilled water. I took a look at...

I do BIAB and just got a PH meter. In a Saison I did see a jump between my new and old versions, but i didn't take a PH of the beer when I brewed. I'm getting ready to brew an Imperial Porter - 19lbs grain total, 1 lb black and .5 lb chocolate. I'll post results tonight when I brew.

If you guys want to see some better pictures, check out the projects article in the November 2017 issue of BYO. I was contacted by BYO to publish the project. Several batches later and the I'm still very happy with the mill.

@TxBrew Thanks for keeping everything up and running!

@adamreef - It worked really well. i didn't have a problem with the plastic gears on the first batch, but that is something i will keep an eye on. I don't recall what the actual RPM is but I'll measure that once I get it re-assembled (minor adjustments after first run). The original cover will...

Lol, I was just asked that tonight at my homebrew club meeting. Not in current configuration. I could put the circuit board back in and allow for remote operation, but then you have a delay for the buttons. Safety 3rd, remember.

Instead of reviving my old thread, I'll start a new one. Old Thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=401345 Well, I purchased the mill way back in 2011. From the start, I had the idea of the garage door opener. There always seemed to be something getting between me and...

I'm In! Awesome!
