Excellent questions. First on performance - I think it is the kind of mill for the patient brewer. Once you get it gapped right and as long as you use a proper drill with enough torque, I got consistent and excellent results every time. I actually do prefer these rollers to gnarled ones as I...

The company stated 11-12lbs but I find that to be a bit overstated. I can usually get 10lbs in here without any spilling over and without compacting it at all.

For sale - a Captain Crush three roller grain mill. I have had only positive experiences with this machine - it really has been quite good. I am a meticulous brewer and have taken great care of this machine. I'm asking $150, which includes shipping anywhere in the lower 48.

This is a complete, all-grain, home brewing setup that is ready to brew. I have built this up from several different manufacturers over the past several years, something I really enjoy doing, which is also why I'm selling. I am ready to start over and try a new approach and need to sell my...

No sweat - and certainly don't want to mislead anyone! I had an MLT with separate attachments for recirc and for sparge. Excessive I know, but that's the point of brewing isn't it?? Hopefully someone with a similar setup is out looking. Thanks for the interest so far - still for sale at this point.

This works best with just sparge water. Using to recirc for HERMS or RIMS will get grains stuck in the small drill holes (I tried, trust me). I will say though, that I had some good luck filtering upstream of this with an inline combined tri-clamp gasket/filter (pretty cool little device) in...

I'm offering a Stout Tanks 12" Stainless Steel Sparge Arm with 1.5" tri-clamp fittings. All parts viewed in the images below are what come with it: 12" Sparge Arm 1.5" gasket 1.5" tri-clamp End plate to seal up the arm This device works incredibly well and produces an even sparge over...

Haha! Sorry - just love the idea of "making it rain" on my grain bed. For me that would be tough - not from a technology standpoint but from one of pressure. It's hard to see, but on the image of it in action on my original post, the wort flows out and barely clears the manifold by about a...

Let me know how the CPVC turns out. I think it will be easier to assemble for sure (see my crappy soldering job as an example...) but avoided it myself for cleaning reasons. I had two bad batches in a row a while back and panicked and went and sanitized everything to an extreme extent. Ever...

Whoa! Sorry - obviously have been poor about checking this thread! As for the efficiency drop - that is interesting... Here are some of the problems that I had getting started. If for some reason the manifold isn't as close to perfectly level as possible, the return flow will favor...

That's great - thanks for the idea! I like your aerator nozzle on the end too used to distribute the wort on the grain bed. How high above the bed do you set it to get a good distribution?

Hey all - been lurking the forums for a long time learning from all of your hard work - borrowing and building away all this time. I thought it was long past due to try and contribute as well. So here you go. Nothing fancy, but sometimes those are the best. A couple of years ago, shortly...

A good "seasoned" mash paddle won't hurt anything. Agree with all above thus far - you can't sanitize wood as it is porous. There will always be critters on it. But for the same reason you don't sanitize your grains before you toss them in your mash tun, you don't need to do that to your...

One of the key dead giveaways here is the "sulphur" smell. Unlike yeast, which obviously produce our glorious byproduct of alcohol, anaerobic bacteria produce hydrogen sulfide under conditions where there is no oxygen. This is actually a test run in microbiology labs to differentiate between...
