I've been getting better results recently. What has helped is washing the rollers before each crush. I don't take it the mill apart -- I just run water through the hopper and then spin the rollers with my hand, removing any debris that I can feel. After this and giving a quick spritz of water...

Interested in 15G Mash/Lauter w/ FB if you decide to part it out.

Your water is great for brewing! A nice, blank canvas to put some water additions on.

At the bottom of your sheet, it begins to document the "unregulated contaminants". I think you'll find some good water info there.

What's your target mash PH?

Last setting as the largest. Depending on how much grain and different varieties, I could imagine measuring and grinding on taking ~15 minutes. I was referring to just grinding before. In terms of "setting up the mill", all you have to do is place a the mill on top of a bucket. I don't take it...

First roller: second to last setting. Second Roller: third to last setting. Both the left and right adjustment knobs need to be on the exact same setting. Only one side of each roller locks into position, leaving the other somewhat loose. Sometimes, maybe twice in a crush, the lower roller knob...

I've had quite the mixed experience with the CC so far; however, I can safely say that now I am extremely happy with my purchase. My first hopper and second hopper slightly chipped, but I fixed the second with some super glue. This mill has a learning curve. Like others in this thread, I...

Opening up the fermentation chamber will, in essence, be adding oxygen. If you pour the starter in and it disturbs the beer, more oxygen. A good few slight carboy shakes afterwards and you've introduce that oxygen into solution even more so. In terms of pumping oxygen in, I wouldn't but I've...

Did you take a gravity reading? Who knows - fermentation could be starting without much visual activity. Also, what's the temperature? Although I am assuming you are fermenting the IPA with WLP001 as well and they are next to each other, eliminating that as a variable. If fermentation hasn't...

Hey - can you give some example topics that you have presented on?

Great! Large order is no longer needed. Thanks so much - will definitely be using Ezell from now on.

Thanks for the article. I recently went cold turkey for a month and a half to stand in solidarity with my pregnant partner. While I didn't consider myself a problematic drinker or home brewer before this, the change definitely had me productively reflecting on my alcohol consumption. I...

Alright Southeast Michigan home brewers, I will be doing a bulk order from Northern Brewer in early July. That's a little bit of a ways from now, but please respond if interested. At the latest the order will be placed on July 15th; however, I am trying to wait until NB does one of their big %...

Thanks for sharing - I've recently gotten into water science and wish you would expound on your strike water preparation.

Looking at the GW Kent website, some of their prices are better than NB; however, their selection is limited.

Detroit/Hamtramck here - interested in a group buy. Not sure how these usually work, but I was recently thinking of bulk ordering from Northern Brewer. Once you have three 50lb bags, the shipping becomes a set $50 charge. By going in together on one order, we would save a lot. I was thinking...

Yeah - my apt has been ~59 degrees. It's supposed to get up to 73 this week so I'm hoping my apartment can rise to that sweet spot.
