I bottled my Burning Pants Pale ale (my pants melted while carrying my keg through the door :-s) on March 16th. 5 days later, I popped a bottle to see how flat it was. Oh surprise, the beer was foaming like if I had previously shook it. I thought that was a very fast carbonation for a change. I...

I wrap my valve in aluminum foil (kept loose for air insulation. So far so good.

I recently purchased a Victoria mill, paid 50$ and can't be happier. I got 78% efficiency during my first batch with it! I installed it in a bucket (there is thread about it and it's powered by a drill). I didn't have the justification for the >$150 for a roller mill and I really don't see any...

I clean them with pink powder, let to drain up side down for a couple o hours, then I put a small piece of aluminum foil on top and sanitize in the oven for 12 hrs at 250oF. Then I stored them until ready for bottling.

Great thanks! The airlock is already bubbling so it should be fine. I guess the first fermentation will be longer tough.

I've learned brewing by reading Palmer's book. He recommends using 2 pouches of dry yeast. I'm trying to cut costs and I used only one Safbrew WB-06 for a wheat beer today. Am I looking for troubles or are you all using only one pouch?

I brewed today and used my Victoria for the first time. It went fast, I just needed to readjust for the malted wheat. Overall I got 80% efficiency from a batch sparge! I'm good with that result. As some said, I don't see why I would pay for a roller mill... Thanks to all of you who shared their...

Done! A Victoria mill, hidden in a bucket. The top bucket is supported by over-the-door hooks (dollar store) so that I could store the bucket at the bottom of the bottom bucket to save space. I used 2 washer on each sides of the c clamp. I removed the cutter pin and inserted a 1-1/4 in 8/32...

Ok!!!! After reading approx 60 pages of this teasing thread, I built my PIAP (pail in a pail, would've prefered bucket in a bucket but BIAB is already taken :-))) However, I see pictures of people using big a$$ drills! How long would last my small corded Black and Decker drill?? I read about low...

I milled only about 20 lbs with it and the driving roller started generating shavings... It's rubbing against the casing since i'm using a drill and need to push the drill bit axially while grinding. I ended up insering a paper clip between the roller and the casing to act as a spacer and finish...

Anyone bought the OntarioBeerKegs' Grain Mill actually at $109? It comes with a 7-lb hopper and has steel rollers so it looks like a bargain to me! It don't want to pay for the other mills that are over $150 but sinc ethis one is right between a Victoria Mill and the high end ones.......

How is the stock pot from HH? Is the bottom thick enough to prevent scorching the wort (if you tried it on a gas burner)?

No, unfortunately they were closed during Holidays (and I can't wait to brew....)! But I will surely get there when time permits!

Callback79, I'm also located in Quebec City and was wondering where you found Star San as my local brew shop is not carrying this product. Thanks
