    Mash mixer

    Not sure that is the official term. I brew using BIAB and a HERMs recirc. Even with rice hulls it requires stirring to keep the wort draining properly. We shall see if this helps. Motor is gear reduced to 15 rpm.

    Posting pictures

    Just a pet peve, compounded by the fact that clicking on pictures gives you a blank black screen. Please "insert" pictures when you post. fuzzy attachments that you can't see are frustrating. Carry on

    cider press

    I made this quite a while ago to press the grains after my BIAB mash is finished. Gets the last bit of sugery goodness out with out burning myself. This is why you don't use zinc coated steel. Completely stripped out. Replaced with a grade 8 5/8"-11 hardened steel bolt. :D

    espresso machine

    So i have had this machine for 10 years! Just learned that pulling barista quality shots needed this! Apparently the pressure this machine pulls shots at was 12-14 bar from the factory. Needed to be 9 bar. Who knew? So after 10 years this thing really does an amazing job lol

    chitosan

    So I read that you can use this product as a finning agent. It's cheap, easy to use. But I think I have a side effect. Chitosan is an anti-microbial, i knew this, but since it was at the end of fermentation and I keg. I don't need residual yeast to carb. The problem I am seeing is that I...

    motorized mill

    Ha who has done it here and what kind of motor did you use? I am looking at some of the gear drive motors. But have no idea if they have enough power. One is a 3:1 with 1.5ft-lbs torque @450rpm. Looking to reduce that further with pulleys, 4:1. So would have 6 ft-lbs. :confused: Thoughts?
