I know you said pellets or chips but I would seriously consider a big green egg. Lifetime warranty on all parts can't be beat. I've had my XL for almost 15 years and have only replaced the grid that the charcoal sits on (free of charge). I use it to grill, smoke, bake, anything you can think...

A sixteen-pack of wings for myself! Big green egg, indirect heat, 400°F, cherry wood for a little smoke, one hour. Crispy skin & tossed in a bit of BBQ sauce after pulling them off.

My keezer line cleaner (pump & hose). Toss that in a 2 gal bucket with a mix of water and liquid line cleaner. I also connect it to my counterflow wort chiller to clean the beer side.

Definitely makes a difference from what I’ve experienced. I also turn my pellets into powder. I soft crash to 50F, pour the hop powder into my dry hopper, purge with co2, then drop it. I used to do it with whole pellets and they dropped right to the bottom. Almost immediately. Then I went to...

Any big difference (when making a Hazy IPA, or other style I suppose) in using Pilsen vs 2-row base malt? I always use 2-row…just curious if anyone has an opinion. Cheers.

Interesting. My last Hazy had extremely close numbers to that except lower CL=153. Chloride/Sulfate ratio about 2/1. Looks like yours is about 3/1. May see how that changes things. Cheers.

Yes, please post when you get a chance. Thanks.

Exhaust hood…

Appreciate the comments. It seem quite stable but I haven't given it a full load test yet....do that this weekend. To attempt to keep dust to a minimum....thought about mounting a screw lid on the underside of the table but I think I'm just going to put a 2" board under the bucket I have and...

Didn't consider 'under load' speed to this point, still trying to get everything set up. Thanks for the roller speeds! This changes how I look at this.

Confused. (that’s how this works) ??

Looks nice…but I don’t know much about 3D printing and I’m not sure how slow I can get this Bauer drill to go by pulling in the trigger even ever so slightly…

If you’re referring to what I said here… Also, the lowest speed by adjusting the wing nuts I can get (without it just turning off) is about 250-260 RPMs The drill is variable speed 0-600, but with the awkward way the clamp fits on the handle, it’s seems impossible to get the speed real low by...

Thought I'd add an update on using the U-bolt to control RPMs. It hasn't been great. I think because of the combination of a metal U-bolt against hard plastic, a handle that's on an angle, vibration, moving the table around, etc., the U-bolt doesn't stay in place and allows the trigger to...

It didn't cost me anything, so as of now, I went with a U-bolt and attempted to dial in the RPMs with the iPhone app I linked above. Seems like it's spinning pretty fast to me but the app is telling me that I have the trigger locked in at 200 RPMs based on utube videos I watched online.

U-bolt & stroboscope, good ideas! Cheers. This one might do it: ‎RPM Stroboscope

Just getting into crushing my own grain and recently purchased a Crankandstein. Found an old dusty table in the basement and it seemed to be just the right size to mount everything. The drill is a harbor freight Bauer low speed drill/mixer (0-600 RPMs). It conveniently had a place to screw a (3"...

Just a shade over 9.

Yeah, did a ton of experimentation when I first built this chamber. The cooling and heating need to balance each other out when dialing in set temperatures. The 40w wasn’t even close to keeping up with the cooling power of the freezer. Without a decent balance, the BrewPi doesn’t work...

My setup came from your pic back in the day! Thanks for that! I started with a 40w and it wasn’t near enough heating power for my space. Jumped up to a 150w and it works great. I’ve got a conical in a space with a ton of open space air. Cool and heat controlled by a BrewPi.
