This is my favorite serving gizmo. It slides down over a corny, then I either use it in a chest freezer with the lid open or on the rolling cart shown here.

I have a Listermann PhilMill I single roller mill. It comes mounted to a board which is intended to be clamped to the edge of a table or bench. This arrangement allows the milled grain to freefall into your bucket creating lots of dust. I hate cleaning up all that stuff, plus you can't really mill indoors.

I got around that problem by mounting the whole works into the lid of a 5 gallon bucket. This allows me to mill grain with virtually no dust getting into the room. Now I can mill indoors when the weather is really crappy outside.

Very nice! I did something similar with my JSP. It locks itself right onto the bucket opening so no dust spills out....

Do you leave the cover off to run it? Seems like it would overheat running in that enclosed space.


:? That's what I was thinking? I guess it doesn't run for all that long, so it might be OK. I would at least check to see how hot it gets though.

The cover stays on. I punched out the knockout holes and so far, they seem to provide enough ventilation.

This may be the ultimate gadget- Doctor Scott's double barreled counterflow chiller.

Beerpal: did you fabricate the metal case for your pump, or repurpose it from something else? I think it's a great design.

Wow, that's some shit right there. The flow goes (it looks like) sequentially through both chillers. Does it really get the wort down lower than just using one?
