That's why I'm going to pour the wort into Jars and let it sit in the refrigerator for 12 Hours , so that the husks and other things which are not soluble would make a layer of sediment at the bottom of the Jars .

Then I can rack the wort and boil it .

Depending on the resulting pH of the solution, you may extract appreciable tannins if you do this.
 
Just fricking do it an let us know how it turns out. All this talk is pointless. The proof is in the pudding or in this case the beer ;)

So , as you said , the red line is pH 6 .

By the time of transferring the wort into Jars , I would check the pH and if it is above 6 , I would add 1-2 drops of

Lactic acid to bring it down below 6 .

What do you think about that ?!

I think your husks will be so shredded into dust that nobody can really tell you what the beer will taste or look like with any certainty. It's all just guessing based on much more traditional techniques. Only one way to find out...

I think you're better of adjusting your sparge/dilution water to around 5.8 before you dilute your mash with it. That way you don't have to worry about pH, assuming the mash is at 5.3 already.
 
Hector, I think your plan will work, but I don't think it'll give you the best beer you can make either. It sounds like the root of your problem is the mill. I would think every country in the world would have some sort of grain mill - I've been wrong before though. After you try your method, I'd look around and see if you can pick up the local version of a grain mill (corn, wheat, something). With a better mill, you can rig up a mash tun with a couple of buckets, a false bottom, or a manifold.
I think you'll make beer, but I think you can make better beer with a slightly different method and a little ingenuity with local supplies.

Yes , that's a better Idea .

I will try it as a small batch to see the Result .

Thank you so much for your supporting Hints . :mug:

The local grain mills you mentioned are used for Aviculture in my Country .

The mills are very big and they cost too much ( 1000$ ) .

As I said before , I have ONLY two Options :

Rolling pin and Coffee Grinder .

Wow, interesting. Well good luck, maybe do some digging on here and try to rig up a homemade mill if you're so inclined. I would think with a good supply of malted barley, I'd want to have a mill. A couple of marble rolling pins motorized somehow maybe? Homebrewing brings out the do-it-yourself attitude usually.

Yeah, I keep thinking something large and heavy that would only need rolled over the grains once or twice rather than him using a light rolling-pin over and over. Throw some concrete in a cheap bucket, then cut the bucket off, roll giant concrete "pin" over trash-bag of grain a few times, done.
