I've never been blown away by a (not double) west coast IPA I've brewed, except for an all Maris Otter IPA I brewed, that was really good. But I'm sitting on 40 lbs of 2 ROW so I'd like to brew with that.
I've tried recipes for Bell's Two Hearted, Sculpin, Zombie Dust, a bunch of my own and...
I brewed a NEIPA and wanted to early dry hop for "biotransformation." I may have jumped the gun, I brewed Saturday, pitched ~ 10am. I tossed my first round of dry hops in this moring on top of a high krausen. So, about 48 hours in.
Now I'm reading it maybe should have been done when gravity...
Ordered Wyeast 1318 from morebeer for a NEIPA, it arrived with a date of 2/24! So I got a starter going with 1.75L, after adding yeast I had ~ 2L so I split into two beakers and left on strr plates (I have 2) for about 36 hours. One of my stir bars sucks and I had to keep getting it back going...
So I got it halfway setup with the Harbor Freight Bauer 1/2" drill. I need to secure and support the drill still, but it's enough to get by for now. I tried a .040" gap and it seemed like there was still alot of whole uncracked grains, so I set it to .038". Am I living dangerously jumping...
Done! Cancelled the Malt Muncher, ordered a MM2 kit direct from Monster. Already have a 1/2" HF drill laying around. More than I wanted to spend but I think I'll be happy with this setup. Love the made in the USA!
Very nice. Yes, $500 is more than I want to spend. I was really just looking for some user experience. Maybe others out there had bought an entry level mill like I'm planning on and found it too small for 10-20 lb batches. I think I will try to upsize to the Monster Mill 2 if morebeer hasn't...
Ok, let me rephrase - you guys are very literal. Is it going to be a pain in the *** because it's too small? This I believe lists a 6 pound hopper. I have regretted going entry level in the past. Example - I process my own wild game and bought an entry level meat mixer from Walton's. When the...

I ordered the Malt Muncher 2 Mill my morebeer for $99. The more I look at that thing the smaller it looks. I typically use 12 to 20 lbs of grain per batch. Will I be happy with this mill? It hasn't shipped yet so I might be able to charge my order.
Thanks all good info, I will calibrate it next time and maybe hold off 10 minutes on the measurement? The reason I bagged the sparge addition is it read 5.3 initially then some lower numbers later. I used to just add a little acid malt in the mash
