Your thread is now famous. Homebrewtalk just shared it on their Facebook page, and folks are asking questions there as well. http://m.facebook.com/#!/homebrewtalk?__user=1417927404

Fantastic work, man! I've been thinking about seting up a sankey CIP system in the future. I don't have the space (or funding) for a dedicated rig like this, so I'll probably use my existing mash and boil keggles as the chemical brinks. I will be refering back to this thread when I tackle the...

My understanding is that the House will vote on this later today. If it passes, it will become law if the governor does not veto it (which he did not do for bill last year raising the allowable ABV to about 10%).

My appologies, Rerun. I completely missed your earlier bump of this thread. Urocyon, the wiring of electrical motors is a mystery to me as well. At the time, my neighbor drew a wiring diagram for me. When I wired it up as per his recommendation, the motor would hum, but not spin. This may...

Thank you much, android.

Here's a link to a slightly higher resolution 720p video. For those with the bandwidth to burn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2ZkzKM3QHQ&feature=youtu.be

I finally reached a level of completion with this build that I feel ok showing it here: The build thread is here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/vonzwickys-mill-build-320061/ And the video that sums it up is here:

Ok, EMI did not like the use of "Sambrosa" in a malt mill video. I tried a few audio editing tricks to fool the man, but all to no avail. So I resigned myself to modifying the soundtrack. As of now, this link is not blocked: I will try to log on later in the day to edit this post with...

Sorry guys. I just realized that an audio sample I used is to blame. I think I can fix this, but it will have to wait until the morning. I will repost when I get it working.

Ok. This build is as finished as it's going to be for a while. Eventually I'm going to enclose the wiring, add safety guards, and perhaps build a custom hopper. When I do, I'll post my progress here. For now I'll leave you with this short video that sums up the build and the mill's first use...

Thanks deadboy. I daresay that along with some nice woodwork (many examples much finer than my own), there are a myriad of fantastic beers brewed by members of this forum. :mug:

This thread has been a loose end for a while, but it's time to pick it back up. Tomorrow is the first brew day in the new house so I've been putting this beast back together. I'll post a fresh video after we mill the inaugural brew.

Viperman, have you tried brewing this recipe again? I'd love to hear about it I you have.

This is the greatest thing I've read all day. :rockin:

That's been a big problem for breweries of any size. They all have a stack of other people's kegs, and there's as yet no cost effective way to sort and return them all to their rightful owners.
