AABG is planning to participate in both Club Night and the Hospitality Suite at the National Homebrew Conference. Crispy has confirmed a reservation for Club Night as well as the Hospitality Suite for a shift (we won’t know the actual time slot until closer to the event) for the Ann Arbor Brewers Guild, as well as the F.O.R.D. club.

Here is a letter from the organizers about both events.

Malt Mill motorized

Steve Darnell writes:

Over the weekend my son and I put together a motorized malt mill. I’d been planning it since Jim Suchy gave me a washing machine motor just before he left. The parts we purchased cost less than $25 and it took about four hours to make, with Ben’s help.

The motor is 1,729 rpms and we adjusted it with two sheaves
at 1.5″ and 8″ down to 324 rpm and attached it to my Schmidling
mill. It grinds a pound of grain in 6 seconds.

Im looking forward to brewing this week.
