Yay... so I finnaly took the plunge and bought a pump and a mill. I ended up with the Cereal Killer grain mill, and the March 815 pl c pump. I took the mill and just mounted it onto a wooden base from some scrap plywood I had lying around and then wired in an outdoor gang box and switch...

So I just made my first counter flow chiller yesterday and while I had 20" of 3/8' soft copper already being used as a chiller. Basically a jocky box for wort chilling I had set up in an old cooler. Just ad icewater and stir while the wort goes through. Worked pretty well but was a pain and...

So I brewed a couple batches with my brew partner Sunday. And we got crazy efficiency on both beers. Well mainly one. We usually get between 68 and 70 percent but on the ESB we got 95% and the imperial ipa we got 80%. I'm not sure why. Not that I'm complaining but our temps were good and...

So I just went to rack a Belgian blond into a keg and it smelled like (putrid cat ****)! No joke. It tasted like a homeless man who had been eating cat **** all day vomited in my mouth! Terrible! So when I racked to secondary it smelled amazing and tasted beautiful. I did get a...
