    Hangover...helper

    been told by a couple buddies that are EMT, that they would use oxygen tanks and breathe the pure oxygen. For me, its a good breakfast with bacon, and a couple tall bloody mary drinks. I feel perfect the rest of the day.

    RIMS for Dummies

    I just got a rims tube setup all put together and setup (minus the pump and fittings). I got the setup used from a fellow homebrewer, and got it for 150. Not a bad price IMO. I just gotta find a deal on the pump now.

    RIMS for Dummies

    This is what I am going to do once i have the money together. First I have to buy the pump.. Man this stuff is expensive. **edit** Question to those in the know... Do you think there would be any difference in the useage of a copper pipe VS a stainless steel pipe? I was thinking that building...

    whats the best available software? Beer Smith?

    Ive been using beersmith for a while. I really like that you have many optons , many features, coupled with a nice looking GUI. I have been hoping that they will be updating it for a while, as it does look a bit dated. Still works well though. I am finding one issue with Beersmith. The...

    "Cereal Killer" grain mill

    Yup, it came in a cereal killer box and everything. I threw all the box and packing materials away, and I was so pissed off and frustrated with the handle that I tossed that as well. So I don't think there is much I can do about it now, but at least I got lucky that it works.

    "Cereal Killer" grain mill

    I will take a picture of the shaft of my grain mill. When I look at the picture of the one on their site and look at mine, The only difference was that the screw on the hand crank didn't have the retaining nut. Meh, I am using a drill now so its a moot point.

    RIMS for Dummies

    Yeah I am thinking about doing this. I just need to find a decent price on a pump, and temp control. The less wiring I have to do the better. LOL Should have this setup in about 6 months or so.

    Mash tun temp with grains

    Yeah buying upgraded equipment and having two burners with two pots makes thing SOOO much easier now. I can just heat the strike water dough in while having a few gallons heating up in the second pot, then add what I need to let it mash at the temps I want. I can even ramp up form lower...

    "Cereal Killer" grain mill

    The last recent batch I did, I adjusted the rollers in the same fashion of which you are talking about, but i used a credit card as the gap tool. Using the low RPM Drill that i show in my previous post. The crush was MUCH more even and very good efficiency.

    Mash tun temp with grains

    Ive been frustrated with this as well. I set my Home Depot 10 gallon cooler up, preheat the mash tun with near boiling water, dump out the water and add my strike water. Still comes out about 1 to 2 degrees cooler than I want, So I just add about half a gallon of boiling water to get me...

    Strike water temp techniques

    I was able to get much closer to the temps I wanted this weekend by preheating the mash tun. I took water at near boiling and poured a couple gallons in the mash tun before adding the strike water. I still missed my target, but only by 1.5 degrees.

    "Cereal Killer" grain mill

    There is no flat part in the shaft of my grain mill. It just spins. Is the main shaft supposed to have one flat side, and not completely round all the way around it? I have reset the gap on the mill to be the credit card size, which IIRC its .0037? Anyway.. I bought a new drill over the...

    "Cereal Killer" grain mill

    Im finding that my CKseems to have the same issues as others have stated. The crank handle is completely useless. It doesn't even crank when I put grain in it, as the screw just spins on the shaft not holding it in place. The rollers seem out of wack. When I set the gap and tighten it...

    Strike water temp techniques

    Ya got me on that one.. "delta" When i was hitting temps, I used a different method with different equipment. I will have to do more batches and testing I suppose. I really want to switch over to a RIMS system though.

    RIMS for Dummies

    Is there a pre-built already wired RIMS system? I know nothing about electrical and cannot solder to save my life. I am looking at the wiring diagram and Im just like what are the symbols? :confused:
