Brewd a batch of sweet stout today, second batch milling my own grain, second brew that I exceeded the the expected OG..

You do realize,washing the floor with stout constitutes alchohol abuse 😫

Replaced a defective circulator pump in my home made chiller, washed and filled my oldest fermenter for a brew day tomorrow.set up my water and grain for an 8 am start.

Took a trip.to.the local home brew shop and picked up the ingredients for a batch of sweet stout, RO/DI water is made,profile adjusted, hot liqueur tank filled,tomer on the Brewzilla sett to start heating at 8 AM.

The only time I see it worth the effort is when I dissolve bakers choclate into the boil for my decadence stout,, I scoop the excess butter fat so it doesnt smother the yeast, otherwise, I see no reason to risk a steam burn when my false bottom and whirlpool keeps most of the undesirables out...

A few pictures from today

Brewed a 22 C wood aged beer,today 5 gallon batch, first run with the new monster mill,, I'm happy with the results,I had to open the gap to .048 then run a second run at 040 for the wheat, or it would stall a ,little stronger motor probably would cure this but its only a matter of about 3...

One thing to remember when setting the gap on a 3 roller,(monster mill) when turning the knob on the shaft end, you tighten the gap CLOCKWISE, then the opposite(non shaft end) end turn the adjuster COUNTER clockwise, otherwise, the 3rd roller large gap will be wider at one end than the other...

Just finished milling 9 and a half lbs. Of 2 row, 14 ounces of midnight wheat and 8 ounces of crystal 40 L.. ran 9 gallons of RO/DI 4.25 gallons in the brewzilla, the rest in the hot liquor tank, set the brewzilla to start heating at 7 Am.

The mill shaft is 1/2" , same part # but choose 12", the spider p/n is 6408 K84

The motor has a 15mm shaft, McMaster Carr # 6408K11 , choose 15mm - the m

It might be related to your search engine, as ling as you get the 5k your golden, in my search engine it had 2 buttons, the default was thev10K 135RPM, in the specs. It had both specifications, at first they didnt make sense, then when I re read it, I saw the 5K button, when I enabled it, the...

It seems the default is the 10K, , I originally fell into the trap, then when checking on my order, realized, I had ordered the 10 K, once I figured out how the system worked, I clicked the 5 K, ordered it, then promptly cancelled the previous order , ya gotta live the simplicity of Amazon.

👍

I dont have the link, but, if you look up on Amazon, it's the YIYIIBY-US 0-270 RPM, 250 watt, variable speed gear motor, you want the 5k 0-270 not the 10 K 0- 135 Rpm motor.

Yes sir, and it performs well, initially, I set the RPMs @ 200 ( no load) which is %60, she jammed I moved the gap to the ,factory setting of .045(from .040) and set the no.load setting to 220 RPMs ,@ 90%, it will start with a full hopper and be done in seconds...

Now that the tests are complete, here are my findings: 1) starting at 60% which is 200 RPM no load just jams the rollers. I moved it to 220 no load and it will start and mill with a full hopper. 2) as constructed with this motor, .040 is too tight, she is a shredder ,moving back to the...

I always secondary ,I tried leaving it in the fermenter a few times, and IMHO, it wasn't as clear and just wasnt as flavorfull,,I just feel it gives me a better product and frees up.my fermenters., its probably just in my head, but that's where itbluves,I haven't been doing this as long as many...

I should note, I left the back of the top platform open to provide ventilation/cooling for the motor

Finished the final details, 3 " ventilation fan is wired into the main.power,a Merv 11 filter affixed to the inner wall in front of the fan, should capture any fine dust. I fashioned an acrylic gaurd oover the coupler from 1/8 lexan, and heated it to bend it into a "U". I made a cover for the...
