Really helpful video... Thanks... I am learning this as I go and you answered my thought perfectly... Thanks again... I hopefully won't be dealing with too much porridge now...

[@BeerCoAu]

Glad you like it Justin. No-one wants to deal with porridge unless it's an Oatmeal Stout 🍺

Cheers Stass? Stash? Great info and always interested in the pro's opinions while i'm making my own brews!

[@BeerCoAu]

Cheers - It's Stass ;-) Hope you're making what you enjoy drinking!

Thanks mate! Subbed. Where in Newy are you guys?

[@StassBrewing]

Hey mate, sorry I missed this. Beerco is a Melbourne based shop but they ship all over. I live in Newcastle. Cheers

I use the Millmaster and Grainfather, my question is about the line above: "From Gladfield Malt: We recommend that you adjust your mill to 1.45mm on the feeler gauges for Gladfield Malt." Does that gap suit all the Gladfield malts I use, Ale, Wheat, Pilsner, Munich and Roasted barley?

[@BeerCoAu]

Hey Jock - yes with the exception of Malted Maize where you might need to dial it out a bit to get the first crush and run it through again if necessary

[@inspectaclueso]

How did you get on with a 1.45mm gap? Seems kinda wide? Most mills are sitting around 0.045" (1.143mm) from what I've read. I also use the Grainfather and just purchased a 3 roller mill to try and improve my efficiency. The mill I purchased came pre-set at 0.045" so I'll probably try that first.

[@jock578]

@@inspectaclueso I didn't say I set mine to 1.45mm, that was the recommendation from Beer Co for the grain they sell. I use the Millmaster that Beer Co sells and that would probably be different to your mill anyway due to the fluted rollers. Grainfather recommends a gap from 1.2 - 1.4mm and I've been using a gap round about 1.4mm with great results. beerco.com.au/products/mill-master-grain-mill

@@jock578 @inspectaclueso one thing we find is that its great to have a mill like the Mashmaster Mini Mill that is fully adjustable. Run a handfull through then check the crush. You should have cracked the grains but not shredded to bits or smashed to smithereens. A few broken husks are ok as is a little flour. Over time you will dial it in to your preferred malt supplier spec. You can also check the CoAs on the Malts we sell up on our malt pages. We find Crisp and Gladfield are plump so dial it out a bit for those two brands. Sometimes you will need to dial it in for smaller grains e.g. Rye etc. Practice makes pourfect and at the end of the day we are not paying wages when we are homebrewing so relax, don't worry and have another homebrew. Each brew tweak a little until you have it dialed into where you want it and remember to always #brewhappy and #brewbetter
