What I'm not happy about is I asked for either a refund or replacement with parallel rollers having a variance less than the adjustment gap settings. SS per their policy was as far as I know supposed to honor this if the customer isn't happy with their product. They did not honor my request...

I have an update. SS got back to me after sending them that last bit of info I found with the variance in the gap larger than one of the gap adjustment settings. They said using an automotive shim is not how you should determine if the mill is crushing in the range you want but to use a grain...

No response from SS yet. I sent them an email telling them that the gap difference from end to end (0.13 mm) varies by more than one of their settings going from 4 to 5 (0.10 mm). To me this says a gap variance that large will obviously make a difference in the crush, otherwise why would they...

On one side the gap is 0.74mm and the other its 0.61mm, 17.5% difference and a delta of 0.13mm. I'm looking at the manual and these are the adjustment values: Position Gap (mm) -5.......... 0.50 -4.......... 0.70 -3.......... 0.85 -2...

Yeah, I told them that their explanation didn't make sense to me. Well there wasn't really an explanation besides saying the rollers are knurled and that they have done extensive testing showing being out of parallel is not a problem like it would be with traditional rollers. I'm not satisfied...

I emailed them back and basically said what I posted up above. I think they need to come out and give an explanation of why the knurled rollers won't cause a problem if they are slightly out of parallel. I'm not an engineer and for all I know my logic about is it completely wrong. Due to the...

They said the knurled design of the rollers is the reason for being out of parallel not affecting the consistency of the grain. By this logic there wouldn't be a difference in grain crush going from one setting to the next. The amount of movement of the rollers is very small from one setting...

I got a reply back from SS. They basically said that the rollers being slightly out of parallel shouldn't cause any issues due to the way it was designed. I can visually see that the gap is different. Unless there is something I'm missing, the side with the smaller gap will crush the grain...

Before I bought the SS I ordered a monster mill. Haven't set that one up either but I'm glad I have it now. Thought I was going to sell it after seeing how nice the SS looked.. oh well.

I ordered the SS Brewtech grain mill in November of 2019. I'm just now getting around to setting it up. I got on Youtube to see some videos and several mentioned the rollers are not parallel. One guy got a replacement which was still off. I thought this must be an isolated issue because I...

OMG, that looks like a blind monkey soldered that thing. I do some electronics work, build guitar amps and I have never seen any commercial product with soldering that bad... not even amateur for that matter. To add to this mill's problems I'm starting a separate thread to let others know they...

Its definitely much more bitter, a friend tried some and thought it was also bitter. The other taste I wouldn't say is plastic, its an off flavor, can't really describe it. The kegerator had vinyl lines when I bought it I think maybe 5 feet? When I changed the lines I set them to 10 feet to...

Its Micromatic vinyl line.

A few weeks ago I went to a local craft brewery and bought 3 kegs. An oatmeal chocolate stout, doppelbach, and an IPA like beer. Set it up to about 12psi with food grade CO2. The first day they were all great, spot on. The next day I noticed the stout was a little bitter but not that...

As I'm building a keezer I've been researching some of the best temperature control units are. It seems that an Inkbird 308 is very popular and works well if the probe isn't damaged. Apparently a number of people have been putting the probe in water to give a more accurate temperature of the...

So this brings up another question... If you are oxygenating the wort won't some of that escape into the fermenter? It kind of seems like even if there is some residual oxygen left after a few days of fermentation producing CO2 isn't this beneficial for the yeast as you mentioned? I'm still...

So the reason I'm asking is I'm planning on buying a CF15 fermenter but would like to make 5 gallon batches in it at times. What if you run your CO2 in the fermenter after the wort is in to flush out the O2 right after you put the wort in. Will this work?

Older concepts seem to indicate that too much headspace could affect the taste of beer for various reasons such as exposure to O2 and fermenter pressure. I read Brulosophys tests which appear to show that headspace doesn't really matter, especially with the latest test done. Is there any...

Has anyone had experience with both of these fittings? If so, does one have any kind of benefit or better quality than the other?

Has anyone tried this stuff? It is supposed to be flexible like vinyl and the benefit of low gas permeation and flavor absorption like Bev-Seal ultra... can't find much info in it.
