Equipment and Software / 2 or 3 roller

« on: October 05, 2010, 10:39:43 AM »

I have decided to buy a grain mill, I have decided it will be a Monster Mill with 2 inch rollers.  The question is should I go with the 2 roller version or the 3 roller version?

Also, does anybody have an opinion on the stainless or hardened rollers (are either of them worth the money)? 

I am looking at crushinig an average of 800 pounds of grain a year. 

Thanks for the info

Pimp My System / Three Tier System

« on: March 05, 2010, 03:04:39 PM »

Here is the three tier setup that has been evolving for a little while.  It started as a simple 10 gallon system, then a couple more kettles were added.  This allowed two separate 10 gallon batches.  

The people that I brew with generally like big beers but there had been some requests for some "light beer".  Seeing all the color and checking the gravity of the leftover water in the mash tuns, we figured we could try some partigyles and make some light beer.  Since the partigyle kettle which is in the middle of the bottom gets a blend of worts, the results are unknown until it is sampled later.  I still do not know what that beer tastes like but will take a sample this weekend.  We figure that we can make about 10 more gallons for about $15 extra and 1 more hour of time.  

The most recent brew was a 1.094 Imperial stout, a 1.085 winter ale and a corn sugar fortified 1.065 happy b-day partigyle  (riverrats b-day).  I will post next week about the taste of the partigyle
