Gotta love it when you make some changes to the way you brew and it all goes to plan.
My Marga mill has been giving me the Sh#%s for a while now, not feeding fast enough so I finally did the mod to it as discussed here. I took a guess as to the hole location and did not measure like said but it works a treat now. Was worried about the crush being too fine and with a grain bill of 40% wheat was worried about a stuck sparge. No stuck sparge and a very good lauter.
Have also been thinking I need a wind guard around my burner as I'm only getting 4 or 5, 1 hour boils out of a gas cylinder. Yes I was heating the garage more than the kettle. 4 ring burner flat out an adjustable reg about half way. I couldn't find any sheet steel or empty steel drum, but did have a large piece of 300 micron mesh. Put around the burner it stopped 90% of the wind and the best thing I ran the burner only on the 3rd and 4th ring with the reg on low. Gas savings.
Anyway the next noob that asks questions about saving time and money these are the best 2 I have made so far.
