    DIY motorized grain mill motor question

    Webstrauntsupply.com I take back what I said earlier. After I reviewedy order I guess I had a brain fart and ordered the smaller of the two. I do have the larger one already on the way. So the build is on stand by. Now I have an extra stainless cart. What to do with it?

    DIY motorized grain mill motor question

    So I got tired of waiting to get the mill built before I brew so I'm brewing with the old setup. Here's a pic. I'm brewing a wake n bake clone. It's an imperial oatmeal coffee stout made by Terriapan here in Athens.

    DIY motorized grain mill motor question

    Thanks for the replies. I'm going with the 1/2 hp motor from harbor freight. And i was planning on running pulleys but I ended up ordering a 10:1 reducer from surplus center. Only 89$ plus I like the idea of no pulleys to get caught up in as I'm already buzzed by the time I start milling my...

    Yeast Starter Considerations for an IPA

    If your set on buying 2 vials of 090. Don't even worry about making a starter. My 2 cents. Nevermind just read that your gonna buy just one sorry

    Washing vs. continuing a starter

    No not at all. There is a little bit more to it like adding nutrients and adding pure O2 to the starter and cold crashing it prior to decanting but that's all there really is to it. And if I know I won't be using the yeast within a couple months I decant the beer from the "cake" and top off with...

    Washing vs. continuing a starter

    All I do when I need a new strain is make a 5L starter let it ferment out decant most of the beer the add slurry to five mason jars. There you go I just quaddroued my yeast and there is well over 100 billion heathy yeast cells per jar. When I run down to my last jar just make another large...
