I am parting with what is left of a 20 Gallon, 3 Kettle HERMS Electric Brewery System. My preference is to sell it all as a complete lot, but am not opposed to parting it out within reason. I do not have the controller, but have everything else.
Here is everything that is included (I also...
So I have to say, the Captain Crush is one nice mill! I haven't had a chance to run a full batch of grain through it yet, but ran about a pound through to show my son what it does. I was extremely pleased with the crush.
What i love about it most is how easy it is to set the gap...
Thanks for the feedback. I ended up ordering the Captain Crush. I figure if it sucks, I'll end up going with a MM3 and just put it on my shelf of non-used brewing gadgets. The roller design is just too intriguing not to try.
I'm at my witt's end with my Barley Crusher as it took me 25 minutes to crush 12 lbs of grain last night. I am so sick of the passive roller not catching so I'm ready to move to something new.
Right now, I'm thinking of either getting a Monster Mill MM3 2.0 or Northern Brewer's Captain...
I have 2 pretty much unused stainless steel drip trays. All you do is pay shipping and my packaging costs. I bought these and then upgraded to a bigger one for my Keezer before using these. The bigger one has/had some Hard Drive Magnets glued to the back of it.

Here is the tape i'm talking about...
I used 4/4 mahogany (3/4" thickness planed) and then insulated with 2" of foam board. To make it look nice inside I used a lot of HVAC foil tape to give it a finished look.
Solid wood like cherry has an R-value of about 1.5 to 1.6 per inch. You will probably have an r-value of around r8...
By the way, here is a link for good quality RTD wiring.

The only benefit of using RTD wiring over say doorbell wiring is the wire color...
I started with 4 taps and added 2 more last week. It's never enough?
Did you start with 8/4 cherry or is that 2' 4/4 board to get the thickness?
I routed a 7/16" rabbet on the bottom of my collar so it slips on top of the freezer. Nothing is needed to hold it in place.
