    Used my cereal grain killer today for the 1st time, other than having to tighten a few things up, it was nice to be able to do it over a bucket and keep the mess outside and I'm very pleased with the result

    My all oat beer turned out good it was a stout , the one thing I realized without barley the beer looks like chocolate milk though it tastes fine it's really cloudy. It also has a very fiberoud effect , i will just leave it at that

    I think what Im gonna do is tonight move my barley to the top racks for a day of less drying (the fan blows on the lower 2 racks, then put the wheat on the bottom for a day or 2. Its almost like I designed it that way, lower racks are for regular kilning and the top 2 are for finishing

    I was starting upstairs (about 10 degrees warmer) then after 2 days went down, I noticed when i did wheat and Barley, the wheat would sprout faster like in 4 days, where barley took a week but in the for everything, in the basement, it was opposite. I put the barley on the drying rack last night...
