    Braumeister - Tips & Tricks

    Over on the other forum it has been quoted on several occasions by many brewers that a full volume mash does not lose any efficiency percentage points. I had a s / steel pot with an element and a PID controller to perform my sparge....now that vessel is a Sous Vide. :lol: This method negates...

    Braumeister - Tips & Tricks

    On another forum many members there are from England and they use the cold extended period for overnite mashing due to the ambient temp being very cold <15c. Ambient in my brauhaus can be 25c during summer. When I overnite mash I do the extended rest at 76c generally

    Pin lock v ball lock for kegs revisited 2016

    I have all ball locks and am happy with them. If I were in a situation where I had to use both I would use John Guest fittings to adapt either system to my kegorator and other equipment. It would not be hard to even make up adapters. Unfortunately this does not solve the problem of the lack of...

    Rice Hulls - Newcastle area?

    In a past life I used to cart it from Leeton to Portland for making stock feed pellets. Worst crap I ever loaded and carted in my life.

    Knurling on a Mashmaster Mini Mill

    After the absolutely excellent service from Mashmaster as refered in most of these 14 pages in this topic, I wouldn't go past one. Buying overseas is great until you have a problem and need assistance. I did a hit on just one of the site sponsors at the top and found their new mashmaster mill...

    Knurling on a Mashmaster Mini Mill

    Crankenstein have a good idea to ensure the roller drives. They machine a series of grooves or shallow flutes on the end of each roller. This grabs some uncrushed grain and drags it through the roller rather than relying on the knurl. I will grab some rollers and take a pic....stand by

    Knurling on a Mashmaster Mini Mill

    Thats a beauty Liam, great find. I recon that there was another wooden roller mill even older than that post...from memory it was similar in size and I was not sure whether it was geared or it maybe had a rubber ring on the drive roller to turn the passive roller.

    Knurling on a Mashmaster Mini Mill

    There was one on here many years ago made from wood. I dont know the size of the rollers but they were quite large and they were smooth.

    Poor Mash Efficiency

    Here is a link to a current topic on the mashmaster mini mill with the roller upgrade. If you consider on of these mills make sure you are supplied one with the fluted rollers and not the knurled ones. http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/86495-knurling-on-a-mashmaster-mini-mill/ Apology for the...

    Poor Mash Efficiency

    If i was using the chill method i would up the whirlpool cascade hop addition to 25 gramms.. This is not based on any scientific formula except for my pure gut feeling of how my system works. Mate, APA's are very forgiving when it comes to IBU just dont go too much over board :)

    Poor Mash Efficiency

    Mate that recipe was actually done with the "no chill" method. You may want to change the steep/ whirlpool hop adjustment if you ar chilling to achieve a similar Final IBU.
