I don't know if you have a True Value Store close, but they had an ad this last weekend for a 18 Volt Cordless Drill with a 55 Piece Drill bit set for ~ $20.00. Here's a link it's flash so you will have to click on power tools. Pretty good deal and It might come in handy around the house. Kazi

Well I used the grip tape pasta mill Saturday to mill 11 lbs of grain. I can see some ablation of the grip tape here and there, I'd estimate well less than 1 percent of surface area. I used a cordless drill on low speed with a 3/8" spade bit to drive it. I'd estimate I could probably do at least...

I bought a copper chiller from my local brew store about $35.00.It will bring my boiling Wort down to 90 deg. in ~20 Minutes using my garden hose. I found that if you let the chiller sit in one spot it stops cooling effectively. All I do is pick it up and move it around if you have your hand on...

Well, I ground a Small amount of grain with the handcrank with the Grip Tape Pasta Mill. It has no problem feeding grain. the grip tape does add some thickness to the rollers so on the Atlas mill settings 1 is wide open Setting 4 is closed. I used setting one. I'll have to see how the grip tape...

Hey great idea for a Grain Mill, I have an Atlas Pasta Maker that I got a while back when me and the wifey first got married. We hardly ever use it so I'm going to convert it to a grain mill. My idea is to take the rollers out and instead of roughing them up I'm going to put some skate board...

Hey Thanks everybody for the replies. Looks like I'll be getting a sack each of 2 row and Marris otter since I and my wife both like European and American style beers. Looks like I can't go wrong. I don't have a grain mill yet but that will be coming soon. Kazi, Can't brew fast enough because...

Noob All Grainer. I've have just started All Grain brewing. I have a really close Brew Store Near By. My question is I haven't settled on a favorite beer yet. I have been using recipes and going to the Home Brew Store and buying the individual grains for each recipe which is more expensive than...
