All hops have been sold. Thanks!

My drill has no speed control or referencing whatsoever. What is the currently preferred low speed Harbor Freight drill out there? My main objective is getting something that will allow for me to consistently repeat the process, so either full speed with my current drill or another drill that...

Reportedly it doesn't crush as well. From what I have heard is it tends to pulverize the husk more and results in more flour.

I recently acquired a MM-3 and am digging buying grain in bulk and the increased efficiency. I am currently powering it with a drill that is rated to run at 800 RPM. As I have read tips by others and the manufacturer, I have attempted to run the drill as slowly as possible. When running it...

After soaking it overnight in dishwasher detergents and going to town scraping it out with a knife, I made pretty good progress. It is soaking now while I am at work.

Without a doubt this is the best and easiest solution, but curiosity and stubbornness makes me want to get to the bottom of this!

After some scraping here is what she looks like

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I was really surprised to find the deposit in the first place and now and surprised that no one has experienced the same! I will give it one more shot to get cleaned up and replace it if I am unsuceesful. This may be what pushes me over the edge to get a...

You think so? I find that pretty surprising, but suppose it could be the case. I have tried going at it with a screw driver, but it doesn't seem to want to budge.

Thanks for the tip on the #5 acid. I am currently whirlpooling with just PBW. What concentration of PBW are you using?

I am leaning towards a buildup of deposit of some sort as well considering how it is so well attached to the wall.

Not that I am aware of. I have been medaling or scoring highly in competitions lately with no comments on off flavors attributed to infections.

Here are a few photos of the piece in question.

And I haven't heard others mention it as a best practice. I was really, really surprised by what I saw. Of course, the most concerning thing I came across was the growth inside the elbow. It is the elbow from Bargain Fittings and is in 304 stainless steel. I am not sure if it is a...

So I grossed everyone out with reports of mold on my elbow. I get it. I was grossed out too. How often does everyone disassemble their pump head? I am going to take a look in there before my next brew day. I recir PBW for about 15 minutes after every brew.

I built what I think is a pretty sweet single tier all-grain stand that I have been brewing on for about 1.5 years now. After my most recent brew I decided to disassemble my boil kettle (a keggle with weld-less bulkheads) and was disturbed with what I saw! There was quite a bit of gunky wort...

I guess I did. Whoops! Is there a consensus mash temp? I am thinking 150.

Looking at the recipe in post one it lists a mash temp of 154 and WY 1968 yeast. Doesn't that mash temp seem a bit high when using a low attenuating yeast like the 1968?

I have bought concert tickets on CL in the past, but I am always a bit nervous when scanning as I am afraid the ticket may not be valid. I prefer Stubhub because it gives more piece of mind that there is a company that will make me whole if for some reason there is an issue with the ticket.

I was shut out for Saturday, but have already made arrangements for Denver. I made travel arrangements knowing there may be a risk in getting shut out. However, I planned on paying the premium on Stubhub to fill in any holes in missing tickets. However, I do not see the event on Stubhub! Am...
