I have crushed in excess of 2000lbs with no problems whatsoever. I do not have the gear drive option. I have been driving it with a 3/8" electric drill up until this week. I came across 1/2hp motor and bought everything else to motorize the mill today. At 10" wide solid steel rollers...

Fill empty keg with hot water, add appropriate amount of BLC, run .5 gallon through each tap, let sit in lines for 20 minutes, flush with .5 gallon of BLC mix again, then flush with water. Do this every two months or so. A bottle of BLC should last you at least 1 year.

3 Wires. Black, White and Ground. Well, I tried googling the model # and came up blank. How do I know what size motor start cap to buy if that's what it needs?

So, being that it's already wired the way it is it looks like I don't need a starting capacitor right? Could I just put a spst switch on the white and black leads and I'd ready to go then?

Hey guys, have a motor I'm going to use to run my mill. It's 1/2 hp, 1725 rpm motor 110v. As you can see it already has a plug attached to it, but it also has another lead with a black and white wire, I assume this goes to a potentiometer/rheostat or maybe just an on off switch? Is it...

I have the Schmidling Malt Mill . It's fantastic, default gap of .045 I believe. http://schmidling.com/maltmill.htm 10" wide rollers, it's a crushing machine. I usually get upwards of 80% efficiency.

Here's how we reinforced our SS braid. Solid copper pipe with bunches of large holes drilled into it. Works like a champ. Just mashed 275lbs of grain (15% rye even) and ran off 100 gallons without a problem.

Here's the thread I was talking about. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/100-gallons-123594/ Please let me know if you have questions.

Our club has a system current capable of 90 gallons (3bbl), once our new boil kettle is complete we will be able to do around 140 gallons. I'll see if I can find the thread arkador posted with the pics of it. Mash tun is 100 gallon stock tank. Current boil kettles are two 55 gallon drums, HLT...

Your next best bet is to start looking for used processing tanks. I purchased a 170 gallon SS tank from these folks for around 400 dollars to use as our new boil kettle. http://www.schiercompany.com/StorageTanks.html

I think I recall you not wanting plastic for some reason. But I will post this again as our club has literally made thousands of gallons of beer from this thing. http://www.home-improvement-superstore.com/rubbermaid-commercial-prod-4242-88-bla-100gal-blk-stock-tank.html If you want...

Sounds like you are on the right track. If you wanted to save a few bucks instead of getting the yellow flex hose you can also use soft copper and flare fittings to feed the burners from your black pipe. That's how I did mine. 1/2" MIP goes into black pipe and 3/8" flare to copper then to...

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Most everyone uses copper for their HERMS coil and we are still alive and kicking.

My biggest complaint is the crappy plastic it's made out of. I bet I have replaced 3 autosiphons due to cracking, I'll never buy another one that's for sure. I'm moving to co2 transfers.

I've love to know how much power one of those originals use though :) I doubt they are energy star qualified! It sure is purty though.

I had this at the Left Hand brewery last month, it is an awesome beer. Definitely worth trying.

I have something similar, use a sump pump from harbor freight, works like a champ. Thinking about adding the Tee like you have to clean the In and Out posts, currently I just take the posts off and throw them in the bucket.

A keezer really doesn't require all that much power for a dedicated circuit. I have a 14.8 cu ft freezer, and with the compressor running it uses about 200 watts.

I've never dealt with Tejas, but you can buy these burners much cheaper online. http://www.topfoodservice.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=KECABJ

We have brewed several pilot batches with a local brewery here using food grade 55 gallon drums. Works like a champ. We fill to the 45 gallon line, sometimes a bit lower if we have a yeast that likes to go gangbusters and rarely if ever have blowoffs.
