Re: Motorizing a grain mill . . . . . . without a drill

They were specially made for Xerox. I had been looking on ebay for gear motors for probably a month or two when it came up for sale. I purchased it from techsmart: http://myworld.ebay.com/techsmart?ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:US:1181 They don't have any for sale now and I'm not sure if they will since th...

Re: Motorizing a grain mill . . . . . . without a drill

I purchased a Bodine ECI-582E2 154 RPM 180 in-lb torque motor off of ebay. I had contacted Bodine with help on wiring and during the process they told me that it was a custom made motor for Zerox. I paid $125.00 for it. Damn thing cost me as much as my grain mill, but it mills 30lbs of grain in less...

Re: Motorizing a grain mill . . . . . . without a drill

Or you can just over kill it like me and never worry about it. The motor I got is an 150 rpm and 180 in-lb of torque! LOL. I just hope I never get a rock or anything in my grain, it would probably f up my rollers.... There is much debate about 2 rollers vs 3 rollers, but in the end 2 rollers are goi...

Re: Motorizing a grain mill . . . . . . without a drill

It was a number that a few people around on the web calculated. With all the research I did before I built mine, I read time and time again people's accounts of motorizing their own grain mills and each time, if they had a motor down on the low range of torque, they couldn't start it if grain was al...

Re: Motorizing a grain mill . . . . . . without a drill

I motorized my grain mill and love it. Just need to find you a gear motor that has an rpm of 100 to 200 and a minimum of 30 in-lb torque. You could do as low as 16 in-lb but you would have to have the mill running before you added grain as you wouldn't have enough torque to start once grain is in be...

Re: Mashing --> single-step vs multi-step

Rob, I primarily only brew lagers also! lmao! :P And I only do single step mashes as I currently still using a cooler and batch sparging. I do mash for 90 minutes no matter what I'm making to insure I get close to full conversion as possible.

Re: Pilsner yeast

I do mostly Lagers in my household. I absolutely love the White Labs Southern German Yeast. I'll buy one vial, do a stepping starter to get able to ferment a 16 gallon batch size. Then I'll schedule my brew days 1 week after kegging so that I can rinse and reuse the yeast easily. I'll ferment 4 batc...
