Monster Mill Stand

Here's my new Monster Mill stand made from 2X4's and stuff I found in my garage. The mill is powered by a 1/2"low-speed drill from Harbor Freight. That bad boy hardly gets warm from crushing 10 lbs of 2-row.

Small Batch Temperature Controlled Fermentation





Shown is a 3 gallon Better Bottle with blow-off tube inside a mini-fridge for 2 1/2 gallon batches, the mini-fridge will hold two 3gallon Better Bottles side-by-side for a 5 gallon fermentation. This would be great for comparing the effects of yeast strains. On top is my temperature controller, an Elitech Stc-1000 from Amazon for $16.69 shipped. It needs a housing and wiring which adds another $15 or so, lots of wiring instructions on YouTube.
