Hey everyone! Wondering what gap most of you are running on your various crushers? I got my Jack Schmidling malt mill and want to be able to set the gap with a feeler guage to a pretty effecient gap. Thanks!

Brewmoor Thats awesome! Would you mind hooking me up with how you motorized it? I saw the tutorial on his website and plan to try that. Do you do it that way?

Hey Everyone, I am looking at getting the Schmidling Malt Mill with the gear drive option and the case hardened rollers to use in my brewshop when I get it open. With the mill, to get the gear drive option you can only get it with the model A which is only adjustable on one end. Can anyone...

Hey everyone, If you had to list your top 10-15 most commonly used hops what would they be? I am putting together an inventory list to open a homebrew shop and would like to try having 10-15 hops for the first round of inventory and then add more after that. Thanks guys and gals I appreciate it...

I personally ferment my browns at about 60. Wort temp at 60 not ambient room temp so you are a couple of degrees below me. I always prefer to ferment anything besides a hefe a little on the cool side. You might try moving the fermenter to a little higher part of your basement or maybe get it off...

Thanks guys. I am going to try to swing at least 10 liquids from both wyeast and also white labs and then the go to danstars and safeale/lagers. I will add more as I go each month but holy cow it takes a lot of cash to get a store up and running!!!

Ok so if you were going to stock a homebrew shop and you were only going to carry 10 strains for your initial month, what would they be? Can you narrow it to 10 or do you need 15?

That Schmidling Malt Mill looks like a beast!!! For about $215 you can get the Model A adjustable and put the gear drive on it. Looks fairly straight forward motorizing it and it has a lifetime warranty. That one goes to the toip of the list right now. I like that Barley micro but $925 seems a...

Hey everyone, I am looking at putting together a small LHBS and am looking on information on mills. What mill would you guys suggest if you were in the market for a daily large volume use mill and why? Thanks ahead of time.

That right there ladies and gentlemen is one of the funniest things I have read in a long while!

Hey everyone, I am taking the plunge this year and ordered 3 rhizomes from northwesthops. I got a centennial, a cascade and a perle. When do you recommend planting? I was thinking about right around the first of april as most of the frosts should be done by then. Too early or late? Thank you!

Have you drank this yet? I am curious what the result was?

I just researched sour mash and acid malt. Thats pretty interesting. Im not 100% sure Ive had any sour beer before but I may try to add 5% acid malt and give that a whirl. Thanks for those ideas.

No just flaked wheat and torrified wheat. Doesnt torrified wheat fall into the category of wheat malt? I know the brewery uses unmalted wheat but I have never used it. I did a little looking at all the yeasts characteristics that wyeast offers. Some of the belgians and also some of the other...

Im not sure Yooper if I would say sour although a slight lemony like pucker and a hint of spice as the finish. Not overwhelming just there in the very end and very subtle. So maybe we are talking about the same thing. But I sure dont taste it in mine. My recipe was two row, torrified wheat, I...
