No need to wire it to be able to reverse it. That motor has so much torque that it will not bind up. I think it would grind rocks without even slowing down. I have one on my MM-2 PRO with 2" rollers and I can load the hopper and flip the switch. I never even thinks about stalling, even when...

Keep the grains you use most. I keep Belgian pils, 2-row as my main base grains. Then keep some munich, vienna and MO in smaller quantities, buy. about ten pound at a time. Some wheat and rye are always on hand. Then small quantities of specialty grains. Thay way I have enough in stock so I can...

No worries with the All American Ale Works motor. That thing is so strong that I seriously doubt that it would ever bind up. I have one on my Monster Mill MM2 pro and I think it would grind rocks without slowing down. I just fill the hopper, flip it on and walk away. It does not even hesitate...

Ask ten brewers a question and you will get 12 answers. My take. Drop the Vienna. Does not really fit with a saison. Just pils and wheat with some sugar works just fine. Your hop schedule will overwhelm the yeast flavor that is a big part of a saison. If you want to go with those hops cut...

It is infected. Here is a pic of an infection that looks similar. (it was intentional. I brew sours) Filteration will do nothing to stop it. At this point all you can do is let it ride for a while and then taste it. It may taste good and then you can bottle it up. But only after a few months to...

You are good. Let it sit, an extra week may even make it better.

Roselare will not be very sour for the first brew. Using the yeast cake for a second or third brew will be better. I always add some dregs from sours to the fermenter.For your first sour, you can start with Roselare blend then add some dregs from commercial sours everytime you drink some. This...

I built the cabinet to fit everything. I used melamine board and iron on edging so it was a pretty simple build. It took me a while to design it but I am super happy with the results. I put a shelf in the cabinet so the bucket that gets the milled grain is only about 1/8" from the top and there...

Here is some mill porn for you...hahahahaha

I ruined one hobby by going pro. (furniture building) I will never do that again. I made good money buy eventually got to the point that I lost the passion for it. I brew for pleasure and do not want to ruin that by making it a carreer.

another vote for a mill.. Get a good one and you will be happy. Your efficiency wil consistent which is what you are shooting for. When I used the LHBS mil I got results from many points low to several points high. Now I hit my numbers almost on the money every time. A good mill also lets you...

Really..... three of your six posts since you registered are mentioning the book.... Unionrdr that is even a low for you... and let's not forget your first post..really. 3 out of six posts mention the book.. one is a creating your fake screen name to pump up your bad book.

mmmmm That looks so good.

Look at Vittle Vaults. They are good and have gamma seal lids. Or a dheaper alternative is food grade buckets with gamma seal lids. They are available at Lowe's https://www.lowes.com/pd/Encore-Plastics-12-in-White-Plastic-Bucket-Lid/50094688...

just coagulated proteins.... Like this?

Yeast plays a big part of the flavor of a brew, so while I do not have a house yeast ( used for everything). I do have some go to yeasts that I keep harvesting and using. These are what I have in my fridge right now. 1272 for clean APA's, IPA 's etc. 1450 for rye beers or anything that I...

The suggestion for Rodenbach Grand Cru is a good one. Here are a few others off the top of my head. Lost Abbey. Red Poppy Duchess du Bourgogne. Russian River. Consecration and Supplication Jolly Pumkin La Roja Monk's Cafe Flemish Red Allagash makes a few but I have not tried them, but they...

Go to the store and get a cheap turkey baster. You can use that to draw a sample to taste. If you like it you should add some yeast at bottling. If it tastes good then bottle it up. You will have to dedicate your auto siphon and bottling bucke and wand to sour beer production. Buy new for you...

Do like I do when cooking. If you are looking to make a dish. Look up a lot of recipes for that dish and notice the similarities. Then come up with a version that you think will work. Experience helps, you know what each grain and hop will add to the recipe. My first brew was a kit, my second...

Not only lagers. The pic above was a saison I brewed with Czech Pils. It was fermented warm so it is not temp dependent.Clearest beer I ever brewed.
