So I just built a dual 1500w 120v kettle this week, ordered a Corona Mill, mounted it to a bucket, replaced cotter-pin with bolt, shimmed it out with washers, hooked it to the drill, etc.
First thing happens is my corded 3/8" drill starts smoking as I'm crushing grain. So I get the hack-saw and have to cut part of the side of the bucket ring off so I can get the crank handle back on, then proceed to manually crush 11lbs. of grain.
Then, as I'm emptying my preheat water from my mash tun, I pour strike water in and forget to close the valve...temp drops rapidly...CRAP! So back to heating new strike water...
Gonna be a late night tonight..
