Brew Day Break... HATE HAND MILLING!!!

[cannman]

7 lbs in... my arm is dying... *sigh* am I getting old? F**#!

OK OK...

Must be smart about this... must not show weakness to SWMBO... Next brew day: Auto drive upgrade %_%

 

[shaneshepherd]

I suggest a drill.

 

[Cyclman]

Harbor Freight, $50! Honey, you wouldn't want me to brew with dangerous ergonomics, would you?

 

[ChefRex]

Corded drill with a keyed chuck will do wonders.

 

[smccarter]

Get a drill man...

JUST.... get a drill.

 

[Bandit-brewer]

Man up. Get it done then work smarter not harder next time. Geez.

 

[cannman]

Lol way to keep the fire burning under my @ss!

Yes, I'm rigging the good ol drill tomorrow night for future use. What a PITA!

 

[smccarter]

Of course... if the goal is to build strength in your right arm, then by all means keep cranking.

The push-pull motion really comes in "hand"y (pun intended) sometimes.

 

[cannman]

. Mashing out as we ponder drills and grains . Yay October 1! Even SWMBO helped paddle while I poured! Life is good.

Motorize your mill!

A real man would mill with mortar and pestle. :rockin:

Always mill by hand. I don't see the struggle.

 

[DrunkleJon]

one arm get tired, use other arm

Nope. A real man would use a sledge hammer.

And that was Dangerous Ergonomics with their smash hit, Crank That Mill.

I crush by hand, with my hand.

Bloody knuckles and all?

 

[Singletrack]

I like to mill by hand, but I have a bad elbow right now (for months). I just wish I could mill without involving the bad arm. Need to hold the mill and bucket solid. Regardless of whether you have one arm or two, this would make hand cranking much easier. I could build a milling station, but I just want to throw the mill in a box and put it on the shelf when I'm done. Solution?

The blood is the presoak.
