    Painting electric motor for grain mill?

    I appreciate all the info. I decided to hold off on painting for now during my build. It would be easy to take the motor off to paint it when/if I decide to. I did buy a black project box to hide the capacitor and wiring to make it look a little better.

    Jaded Hydra chiller users

    I received my hydra in the mail a few days ago. They custom made it to fit inside the heating coils of my Braumeister. I haven’t been able to test it out, but it seems really well made!

    Hop varieties & Bittering

    I was looking to get a beer clone recipe kit from Austin Homebrew supply. They also list the recipe ingredients on their website. For the bittering hops, it simply states 5HBU pack and 3HBU pack. I noticed that several people had already asked questions on their site about what type of hops are...

    Monster Mill 2 issue w/ hopper

    UPDATE: I emailed back and forth a few times with Fred @ Monster Brewing Hardware and he had never seen an issue like this before. He offered to make it right by giving a refund or sending a new hopper. I ended up just drilling out / elongating the mounting holes in the hopper brackets (3 holes...

    Jaded Hydra chiller users

    It was two days for them to respond to my first message. I’m always impatient when it comes to buying stuff though. Once I make that decision to buy, I’m ready to get it! Lol. I did a custom order yesterday with the heating element coil width, so they could make sure my chiller will fit inside...

    I’ll definitely do that! They seem like they are great to deal with from the comments I’ve read on other threads.

    Jaded Hydra chiller users

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. I see nothing but good comments about it. I’m going to get one ordered. I read another post in regards to ordering a custom one with raised “feet” to sit it up above the heating element. I would like to have mine like that, as the Braumeister has an exposed...

    Jaded Hydra chiller users

    I’m in the market for a better immersion chiller to use in my new Speidel Braumeister 20L. I have a built in pump to recirculate the wort as it chills in the unit. I’m not looking to get a counter flow chiller, even though many people love them and recommend them. I would like to know from...

    Monster Mill 2 issue w/ hopper

    I think you may be on to something! I did some searching on their website and found this: “The main six hopper parts are the same for any of our mills, while the sides that hold the hopper are different for each mill, and double as covers to keep the grist below the base.” So, according to...

    Monster Mill 2 issue w/ hopper

    Yeah, I may have to end up doing that. I just expected it to bolt right on and work as intended without having to modify it. I’ll see what Monster Brewing Hardware says since I messaged them this morning.

    Painting electric motor for grain mill?

    Awesome! Thank you for the info! I really appreciate it. I probably need to do a couple of test runs to see how warm it gets. I’m thinking no more than I’ll use it for 5g homebrew batches, it won’t get ran very long at any one time.

    Monster Mill 2 issue w/ hopper

    Thank you so much for the info! I have sent them a message. I’ll see what they say and go from there.

    Monster Mill 2 issue w/ hopper

    Thanks for the info, but still no luck [emoji20] I took the whole thing apart and reassembled by swapping panels around on the hopper and I installed the bolts with the nut side on the outside this time. There is no play/slop in any of the bolt holes. I made sure nothing looked bent or out of...

    Monster Mill 2 issue w/ hopper

    I bought a MM2 used without a hopper, so I purchased the monster mill mm2 hopper for it. I assembled the hopper and when I sit it on top of the mill body, the inside of the hopper hits/touches the rollers and does not allow them to spin at all. If I flip the entire mill body upside down, then I...

    Painting electric motor for grain mill?

    I am starting a motorized grain mill build. I picked up an electric motor, mm2 grain mill, and lovejoy couplers on eBay as a package deal a little while back. I’m always just as much concerned about appearance as well as functionality. I was wondering if I can paint the aluminum electric motor...
