This is a really good beer. I have done two batches. One with wlp001 and the other with 1450pc and both are great. Thank you Yooper!

Have you made this before? Sounds good.

I left it ugly compared to others I have seen on the net, but this thing works pretty good. Next year I may upgrade to get away from the ice changes but for now it does the job.

I love winter brewing. I am not constantly fighting off flies and bees from the wort.

If you can swing the cash, Monster mill2 2.0. With hopper and base. So easy to adjust and built like a tank. You will also need a drill though to run it. So it is a little expensive. But its a sweet mill!

I'm getting one. That is cool!

Wood three tier stand.

Welcome! You are luckey to have homebrew stores near you. I have to drive an hour to get to one. There is tons of info on this site. Happy brewing!

I was curious about the cordless drill too. It sucked spending the money on a 1/2 inch corded drill I knew I was not going to use for anything else but the mill. I'm happy I got it though.

I heard others say the same thing about the three roller monster mill. The two roller 2.0 version adjusts in about five seconds. They also changed the set screw design. It seems much stronger.

Will not be traveling to Kano! I remember traveling through the middle east while in the Navy. Most places did not serve beer. Talk about a fish out of water! I love the USA! And australia...lots of fun

I agree. I have a Dewalt 10.5 amp drill and it powered through 15 pounds of grain in about 2 minutes. It has plenty of torque. I'm really happy with it.

I have the Monster Mill 2 2.0, but I have read a lot of people like the Barley Crusher. Just get one that you can adjust and it will probably be a lot better than the LHBS crush. I dont know if its to sell more grain or help to avoid a stuck sparge, but the mills at the brew stores that I have...

Life is good. I was all over the place with my efficiency.

I have made the same amber ale three times now. With the same ingredients I have gone from 63% and 66% with LHBS grind, to 83% with the new mill set at .039. I was really surprised at the difference. Aside from the efficiency, it was also cool to mill in the garage and throw in the mash tun two...

Welcome rishriv03! It is a fun and addictive hobby. I love it, you can spend as much, or as little as you like, and it offers a lot of DIY projects. Good luck to you and happy brewing.

Good job! It looks good. I tend to leave my beers in primary untill they are done fermenting. I don't know if you are going to dry hop or add additional ingredients or not. If you are, rack after primary slows down (7-10 days). If you are not adding anything else to it, I would leave it alone...

Thanks guys. I picked up the MM2 2.0. So far I love it. It was super easy to adjust and plowed through the grain. If this looks good to you guys I'm going to roll with it. Thanks!
