grains today, wheat n barley, I always have a hard time knowing where the aspire is? Atleast until it gets bigger

No worries:thumbsup:

Thats the plan

Walk out basement so I can just wheel it around the outside. with warm weather coming my basement temp should be 60’s which I may try kilning there. THe nice thing about my Heatpump water heater is it acts a dehumidifyer, con is it Cools the basement, so it will be really dry just cooler...

But I do like the idea of casters because if I need to move it upstairs or down it might be a pain

I could remove the bottom cross brace to let the air go underneath, And move it up

Here is sort of the finished product not sure what I'm gonna do about the sides. Not perfect but cost me about 15 bucks using up scrap what I had. Little heavier than I wanted. You can see my keeezer in the background. And MyBrown ale which is a lot cloudier which is probably because I didn't...

That is the plan, I am going to cover the sides to keep air flow going thru, I m determined to keep it under $20. I m going to have to rob from peter to pay Paul as it were.... have to steal some 2x4's from the garage shelving to finish it and replace them with OSB..... Side note I just tasted...

Im going to build the rack stand, then make the screens and frames separate so they slide in n out, atleast thats the plan.

also because im inherently cheap (racks online for like 3 are 60-8$$) I will probably build something like pic with scraps I have laying around, im not a hoarder but a re-purposer HAHA, just not this big

So 24hrs at room temp, 170 for another 12hrs? Also how do you get the grains off the SS rack for the oven?

Also is your racks stackable, how easy is it to get grains off it when dry?

Do you do anything after 24 hours? up the temp for a few hours? Toast them? Im working on building a drying rack but if my batch im malting now is ready before i have something I may have to use my dehydrator which only goes down to 95F

Anyone have recommendations of tool for checking moisture tester for malting grains?

I just got a Cereal Killer grain mill, but it doesn't go fine like my blender does, my blender makes it like flour, is that too fine?

where did you get the separator rod? How big is your pot? Diameter?

OK so I my be rethinking the basement brew kitchen. And start doing smaller batches int he wintertime in the normal kitchen and bigger batches in the garage. So My next question, does anyone use a Turkey fryer burner for mashing and boiling? I can do my spring - summer- fall brewing outside. Is...

that makes sense

I may in the end just find a old used Gas/ lp Stove full size. May be cheaper anyway. I guess I never really understood why a LP camp stove cant be used in side but my regular stove that runs off the LP tank can? Always wondered if I could use my LP heater inside if I lost heat, if my furnace...

Here is what my Gas stove that runs off LP Here is what I was thinking for the basement
