Just guessing, because I've only ever had a 110V unit, but they are also available in 12 or 24V AC/DC. That may require a rectifier for selecting AC or DC. Look on the label for the input voltage and this will tell you what you have. You have to select the voltage on some of the ebay ads and the...

Best bet is take the pulley off the motor and take it with the mill to your supplier. No guessing, buy once. You'll still have to go back again when you know your belt length. Alternately, if you can figure out what your shaft to shaft distance is, your supplier may be able to calculate belt...

Have a look at this. It is an easy way to tension the belt. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/motorized-grain-mills-time-to-show-them-off.159950/page-2#post-2495246 I believe I have read that 100 to 300 RPM works for most mills. This may help for sheave diameter calculation. Select...

Don't think you have the sequence right. You have to hold the S key while incrementing the value

What year are you living in? That said, our LHBS was supplying converted fire extinguishers for a few years until their supplier ran out of fire extinguishers to convert. Up until then he also did swaps. I now have to go to the fire extinguisher company for refills.

No pretending, just remove the foam - it's the only way to get a reading (as shown in the video above). If waiting doesn't disperse the foam I remove it with a disposable pipet. Got these for use with my refractometer which I use for readings up to and including OG.

If you are looking for easy, look at Yooper's thread on Joe's Ancient Orange Mead (JAOM) https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/joes-ancient-orange-mead.49106/ This makes a sweet mead without the need to backsweeten. Now, while you're waiting for that to age, forget all of the bad (but...

He's a cat!

and that is what is so important! Our definitions of what are happy times differs as much as our understanding of each other. So many times I shake my head, so many times they stalk off (in disgust?). But the times that we are in sync are such pure joy. Give them their space, enjoy the times we...

I JUST GOT CENSORED! "bullpoopy" was not what I typed! But then of course, you know what I said - I JUST DON"T WANT TO BE KNOWN AS SOMEONE WHO WOULD SELF-CENSOR THAT WAY! OK, rant over.

Almost all shipping in Canada today gets ridiculous, so local, particularly for bulky items, is usually best. Our small, local suppliers can't keep everything in stock, but the more we support them, the better they can get. Prairie is a prime example. His stock has expanded dramatically over the...

My concern is that the water has already been designated as unsafe (due to high turbidity). RO would overcome that designation, but the TDS breakthrough now means that the water is no longer true RO. Is there now a chance that turbidity and pathogens have potentially broken though?

+1 on Eva-Dry - use them in my keezer too.

Due to our small town water source being surface water, I cannot get an up-to-date water analysis, and historical figures show that it varies considerably from test to test. They are generally 2-3 months behind in publishing the data. I use RO water from the local co-op so that I can control my...

Go for it! Don't let any first time problems get you down - it's happened to all of us. There's a lot to learn, but step by step each brew gets better. I started off with extract, but I have been doing BIAB and kegging for the last 5 years or so. Anything I can help you with, just ask.

Glad you've found Prairie Brew Supply. Kevin has done great things for us, and he has great stock, which cuts down on shipping. You're lucky being so close - it's a 4 hour drive for me, but still worth it. I don't know what scale you are into, but hops have been my biggest cost issue. Just found...

Welcome from SW Sask. Give a shout if you need help sourcing supplies. Not sure what part of our scarcely served area you're from, but maybe I can help.

Yeah, I can't believe it took me this long to find them. Compared to everybody else in Canada, their prices are really good and they have a great selection and it's all in stock. My first order went out next day. I paid once for shipping instead of twice for two different sources that only had...

This was the thread that got me started. I've settled on Nottingham as my favorite yeast for this cider. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/everyday-simplest-dry-cider.492436/
