I'd love to hear another review of how a pico vs non pico all grain turned out. I'm really tempted to pull the trigger on this thing.

Same company different product: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/best-digital-thermometer-314825/index2.html It's pretty nice as you don't have to open up the mash tun, you can just push down the probe and leave it there.

Quality mill is still a strong choice, here are a few other to consider. --An easy to use/accurate digital thermometer. I have a write up here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/best-digital-thermometer-314825/index2.html --I made a heat stick, get that water going faster and save on...

Wrote what I was going to write ;)

Heat break/boilovers are like hangovers... you never learn. :cross:

Given the choices, I'd go with a top of the line mill and I'll tell you why. My brew group bought a JSP Malt Mill. We brew about 30 gallons at a time (two 15 gallon setups) and wanted to bulk buy our grains. So we buy about 300 lbs of grain at a time, store them in air tight containers and...

Thanks for the input guys! Now with this data I think I will just give him the pump back and go for something else. If I had the pump head and everything for free, that would be one thing. You guys saved me a bunch of money and a lot of effort on something that would not have been worth it.

A friend of mine gave me this pump: http://www.coleparmer.com/Product/Cole_Parmer_Console_drive_115_VAC_50_60_Hz/EW-75211-10 He told me I just need to buy a pump head. I would plan to use this pump for all kinds of things on brew day, just moving strike water around, moving wort into the...

Anybody with a hands on brew test of this yet? In the sense of comparing the result of the pico brew vs the same beer brewed by your already all grain setup method, do the beers come out the same?

Beergas for sure. Your local air gas will sell it to you, it's a different tank and regulator than C02 so keep that in mind. If you are ever going to do C02 beers I would also just recommend getting a nitro regulator, as you can get an adapter and it's fine to run C02 through the nitro...

Certainly sounds like a leak in the system, almost certainly between the tank and the keg. I say that because if you are getting beer back in your air line (which shouldn't have happen if the beer is below the air dip tube) it must be getting push back up. I run 2 nitro taps and I get...

You can throw the probe (the long yellow cable) directly into the water or mash tun. One of the uses for this thing is to measure and calibrate an oven or a dishwasher, so you know it can withstand a beating! The prob plugs into one of these: http://thermoworks.com/products/handheld/mtc.html...

I have 2 c02 and 2 nitro. My tap handles are about 9 inches tall and it works fine on the push back for me. It certainly could push back further if it didn't hit the fridge, but from what I can tell the push back isn't really different then the pull forward. It's merely restricted by how far...

Just a follow up on a post from a long long time ago :) We've got 3 of these now: http://thermoworks.com/products/handheld/mtc.html The MTC model. Two with the long probes and one with the short. In 2 years we have replaced two batteries and these things are ROCK SOLID. The only very...

I feel the benefit of the Malt Mill is the gear driven rollers. The P and the A versions both have gears, the AA is adjustable both ends but no gears. I have the A and I was in the same boat as you, adjustable one end.. uh.. what? But I'll say it does actually work! The default setting is...

I'm excited to hear how this works out. I brew usually 30 or 45 gallons at a time so it would be good to use this to give it something tricky a try, or brew a really small batch of something I don't want a ton of. I like the idea of being able to simply brew something quick up after work and...

What is a spider coupling? I want my mill to last! :) I have a JSP Maltmill, and have run several hundred pounds of grain through it, no problems. It's adjustable, but I find that the default setting works just fine. If I slightly tweak it I do get better efficiency but it gets close to a...

I excited to see how this turns out!

It's happened to me when I overfill my carboy a bit, or if I have a really big beer and lots of yeast. It'll settle down. When it happens to me I just end up changing out the airlock a few times.

My experience was similar. The beer is OK but I'm certainly not drying hopping with target my second fermenter with Target. It sort of ended up with a vegetable flavor, as though I had dry hopped in the keg (which I didn't) and I only dry hopped for 6 days. I'll try something else, maybe just...
