Yo BobbiLynn!
I'm going to use the turkey fryer, propane thing, for the all grain first brew. Got my temp gage ready.
Yo BobbiLynn!
Hi Dan, wassup this fine Sunday eve? I'm just chillin' again, decided **** it, I'll get back to real work in the new year. Still brewing massive quantities of beer and gotta get my carboys freed up for the all grain... bottling before some are really ready but they didn't foam up, so hey, they are ready right?
Hey my friend. Glad you are feeling better. As far as your bottling goes, do I need to recite a Revvy post about final gravity and all that crap. You've been brewing awhile now. I'm sure you know when your beer is ready to bottle and when it is not.
Happy New Years to you girl! I'm looking forward to your posts, threads and talking with you.
What are you for your first AG? I'm hoping do my first soon too
Hey BobbiLynn
Tell us about your all grain set-up.
Mash tun.. you need something to put the crushed grain in and extract the golden sweetness out of it.
We're having a conversation here, is that bothering you?
At my local shop they said I could use the thing I use to smash squirrel meat with, you know to tenderize it. I'll just have to clean it up...
Nah, I was just replying to Dan. Does that bother you?
No... I have no intention to offend anyone, unless they are itching for it....
all my love...
No, I don't know. Can you expand, a pic would be good.
BobbiLynn I think that's called passive agressive. Don't go there.

Umm... propane burner and big pot... gonna cool it in the river using a dolly to get it there. Is there something else I need?
You turn the handle and the meat slides though, kind of like a wind up flash light that doesn't need batteries... I'll try to get some pics for you all soon.
To crush your grain??? Without seeing it, I suspect that would be a very poor thing to use. Malt mills are made to provide a consistent crush to the entire batch of grain that's run through it.
Get a malt crusher/mill, or have the LHBS crush it for you when you buy the grains for a batch.
Highly doubt a river in FL would do all that good a job of cooling the wort. Most of us have ball valves installed in the BK in order for it to be an actual kettle. Putting it in the rivier would expose that to contamination, that's simply not worth the risk. Also, it's even more risky with the depth you'll need to place the kettle/pot into in order to get even halfway decent cooling. IMO, just get an actual wort chiller for that. Don't go all redneck on it.
Unless you can set the gap into .030"-.040" range, and it is knurled, it will give very poor crush at best, crappy crush at worst (or no crush, jamming up).
Sorry, but I am going to go all redneck on it... will let you know how it turns out...
I CAN set the gap to whatever I want it to be, thank you for the exact measurements I need to use....
going through meat/flesh is a hell of a lot easier than dried grain. Don't be surprised if the rollers in your redneck/ghetto crusher don't last very long.
I'll get the guys from my local shop to crush the first batch for me... would that make you happy? Then I can see exactly how it's done and see if my squirrel meat crusher would work, okay?
So how is a squirrel grinder gonna be a mash tun?

Have you seen a malt mill before???
Watching Golddigie and BobbyLynn is sort of like a Jerrry Springer show. Don't get me wrong. I truly enjoy BL and GD, both of you folks. Maybe BL a little more. But smurf! You two should get a hotel room or something.
Easy goes it girl. Just having fun here. No hate.. okay?
Okay, I think that what I am calling a squirrel tenderizer actually is a masher for grain. It was with the stuff grandad left behind.... I thought it was a squirrel tenderizer....

Damn... I'd love to get that bastard alone in a hotel room... wouldn't turn out the way you expected....
I'm not going to lie, I have not read any other posts in this thread but I think this is an amazing quote. (Thus the reason I am looking at this thread...) I just might have to start from the beginning.
Masher/mashing is processing of the crushed grain, not the actual CRUSHING of the grain. You don't grind it, mash it, tenderize it, you CRUSH IT... Like in the Rocky movie... "I must crush you"...
I don't think Jerry could handle us...
It wouldn't end how YOU expect either.
BTW, here's a picture of the business end of MY monster... No, not that monster, the one that crushes my grain. Get your mind out of the gutter.
