How much spice did you add (to how much beer?)

Those guys totally got me! I wasted hours of my life following their "how to" on installing raspberry pints on a raspberry pi today and, man, they totally had me until the end! What a great practical joke, especially being so far away from April, I totally didn't see it coming! I thought I...

I just got a sweet monster mill 3-pro and it's a beast. What I don't understand though is why doesn't it, and all grain mills for that matter, auromatically come with top and bottom plates that would align and properly space the rollers? It seems that such an engineering marvel would have teh...

Do you need to adjust it for different grain sizes or for things like raw wheat?

I appreciate all the replies guys! I'm not bent on a three roller mill, but want to make sure I get a quality piece of hardware that will last a long time and let me mill a variety of grain sizes without a lot of readjusting. Lots of food for thought in the reviews so far!

We have a nice brew club in Kirksville area, the KGB, and are always welcome to new members and Brewers.

Hey friends, I have a question that has been asked before, but am looking at it from a different angle. I have a nice two roller mill my cousin made in his machine shop, and it's been a beast for years (with regular maintenance!) but it's time to look into something new. I am looking for...

Please keep us updated on how the unit works! I'm looking at this and the avantco unit for BIAB with my 15 gallon tallboy kettle. How much weight can the unit handle? Think it could handle 10 gallon batches? Mike.

I'm wondering: have you ever, or are you aware of a well documented episode where an ale yeast was over pitched into a lager recipe and cool fermented to effect a more lager like fermentation? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I, and several others are here in kirksville or Macon. We have started a club (KGB, kirksville guild of brewers) here in kirksville, a bit if a drive I know, but we're here if you have any questions!

[this is the info I was graciously provided: We are actually legging off another batch of Alpha Session today. It should hopefully be on tap at the Barrel House by next week (possibly sooner). Glad you enjoyed it. The grain bill is pretty simple: 95% Marris Otter & 5% Crystal 45. Starting...

How's that grain basket working out? I was contemplating this exact thing! Mike

Any chance you have that recipe for the alpha session around still? I'd love to get my hands on it out herein the Midwest! Thanks, Mike.

How can I distinguish between chinook and sterling hop plants? Come harvest time I can do a three-way with known hops, but I'm curious if there's a way to positively ID them from leaves alone. Im almost positive that the hop to the east was the sterling, but I can't be sure. Mike.

Nice! What kind of barley did you use and where did you buy it? I have a friend who's looking around for varieties and places to buy seed. Thanks, Mike.

Which method for storage do you use Patthebrewer?

Some people do have "yeast ranches" that they keep. There are many different ways that people choose to keep their yeasties viable, from stored slurry to slants. Google searching should yield you many good resources, several on this very site.

I had time yesterday so I took the brewery apart and checked all my thermocouple connections. Everything was wired correctly and snugly. Just for the sake of science, and because I had no idea what else to do, I switched the wires, with red now going to positive rather than negative, and the...

I did purchase k thermocouple extension wire specifically for this purpose. I'll have to check out the wires this weekend. I do know that I tried hard to make sure that the wires were the same throughout the new extensions, however I remember on our test brew day we had to reverse the wires...

I wonder if I could source a k thermocouple with a six to eight foot long cord... This would eliminate the junctions and spliced cables while still allowing me to keep my controls where they are.
