    California Morebeer Sparge Arm

    I started bidding at $50. Below that I'd keep it just for the value of the parts. It might fit a keggle depending on the width of the rim. The sparge arm itself, the float switch, and square metal shaft with height adjusted all thread sit on the inside of the mash tun. Then there's an...

    All You Ever Wanted to Know About Oxygenation

    ** NOTE: Oxygenation equation updated based on data from dstar26t ** Does it seem like it’s hard to get all the information you need in one place? Since I just came down the learning curve on oxygenation, here’s what I hope is some valuable information. You need to get oxygen into...

    First Crush with Monster Mill

    Never be afraid of throw lots of power at the problem. I've got a 1 HP motor and gear reducer and never a stuck roller. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/motorized-monster-mill-build-373083/

    California Morebeer Sparge Arm

    Sparge arm originally from MoreBeer 20 gallon tippy dump system. Arm includes customized height adjustment, float switch (for controlling pump), check valve (to prevent backflow), manual valve, and clamp for attaching to side of mash tun. This is a "plug in" unit for a MoreBeer all grain...

    Whirlpooling with Counterflow Chiller, Pump, and Tangential Inlet

    That certainly seems possible to do. I usually watch an inline thermometer which is after the chiller, but you could watch the boil kettle thermometer and shut he pump off when it hits 160. BTW, I've heard of whirlpool hop additions, but never tried it. Does it add a lot more flavor and aroma?

    Whirlpooling with Counterflow Chiller, Pump, and Tangential Inlet

    One photo shows the set-up during the boil. You can follow the fat, brown hose that's going from the kettle outlet, pump, chiller, inline oxygenation/thermometer, and then back into side of the kettle where tangential inlet is. Smaller clean hose coming off inline oxygenation/thermometer is...

    Whirlpooling with Counterflow Chiller, Pump, and Tangential Inlet

    It's a long title, but I couldn't figure out how to describe this set-up and technique with less words. I've recently upgraded my MoreBeer Tippy Dump sculpture where I just had a pump and counterflow to include a whirlpool tangential inlet and love it!! Here's the equipment, how to do it, and...

    Motorized Monster Mill Build

    Torque (in-lb) = (HP / RPM) * 63025 My GE gear motor which I originally tried to repurpose had 40 in-lb torque and would stall even if I started the mill empty. My new 1 HP motor with gear reducer which has an output speed of 173 RPM has a torque of 364 in-lb (per the above equation). This is...

    Motorized Monster Mill Build

    I went with surpluscenter.com because that's where I got a gear motor for my first grain mill (per Sam's Wortomatic page) and subsequently found they have the best prices. General sources to check are McMaster Carr and Grainger. I did a quick check and their equivalent motors are running $300+...

    Motorized Monster Mill Build

    ** Note: Updated to include wiring diagram and updated source for motor. ** I’ve spent a lot of time researching and building a couple motorized mills so I thought I’d give something back to the forum with this thread on my latest build. A little background … I had been...

    Grain Mill

    The reason I'm selling my motorized Barley Crusher (earlier post) is that I upgraded to the MM3-2.0. Initially I tried to power it off my old 40 in-lb gear motor (the one I'm selling with the Barley Crusher) ... no way. I couldn't even make it budge. I had to upgrade to a 1HP AC motor and a 10:1...

    Motorized Barley Crusher Grain Mill

    My set-up almost exactly matches the one on Sam's Wortomatic site. The coupler is a Lovejoy coupler from McMaster-Carr. There's various overall sizes available and then you can size each end for the shaft diameter of the mill and motor. The motor came from surpluscenter.com. However, I...

    Motorized Barley Crusher Grain Mill

    I put it on eBay without a buy-it-now option (which you can't add after auction has started), but I'd like to get $200.

    Would a motor from this craigslist ad be correct for mill?

    This is an old thread, but I'm selling a motorized Barley Crusher like the one on Wortomatic with a GE gear motor. It's on eBay at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221146337426
