Viking Pilsner Malt

Viking Pilsner Malt via MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

1.7-2.2 °L – Viking Pilsner Malt is made from 2-row spring barley. Steeping and germination conditions are chosen to promote even germination and homogenous modification. The final air-on temperature in kilning is typically 80-85 °C. Pilsner malt flavor is usually described as malty, slightly nutty and sweet.

Great malt for all malt beers but there is enough activity and character for base malt use in many brewing applications. For all kind of whiskies. The color of pilsner malt is low.

In 2016 Viking Malt and Danish Malting Group joined forces to better serve their customers. Now the new Viking Malt is the leading malting company in Northern Europe and supply raw materials and services to the global brewing, distilling and food industries. Viking Malt has 6 malthouses in areas where our distinctive Nordic barley is sourced: in Halmstad, Sweden; Vordingborg, Denmark; Lahti, Finland; Panevezys, Lithuania and in Sierpc and Strzegom, Poland. The annual malting capacity is close to 600 kilotons.

Hacaroa 3 Pieces 5 Gallon Bucket Lids, 12 Inch Plastic Screw Top Seal Lids, Leak-proof Reusable Bucket Twist Lids Caps for Pet Food, Grain, Paint Storage Buckets, 3 Colors

5 Gallon Bucket Lids Plastic Storage Bucket Screw Seal Lids

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • Hacaroa 3 pieces bucket lids come with 3 colors, yellow, orange and blue, measure 12 x 12 x 1.5 inches, suitable for standard 5-gallon buckets.
  • Food-grade Material:Made of premium plastic (PP), our 5-gallon bucket lid is strong and durable, food-grade, safe with no unpleasant smell, great for food storage.
  • Easy to Use: The bucket seal lid consists of a lid and a ring. Spin open the lid (anticlockwise), press the ring hard onto your bucket rim until it is snapped into place, and spin close the lid (clockwise).
  • The lid can keep water and dust out of the bucket, keeping your pet food, rice, sugar or other foods fresh and dry. Besides, With groove on the lid, easy to spin open and close.
  • Wide Application: The screw top lids are perfect for pet food bucket, grain buckets, paint storage buckets, fishing buckets, etc. With 3 colors, better classify the items inside the buckets.

 

These appear to be similar in function to Gamma Seal Lids – Hands on Review

You attach attach an adapter ring on your compatible bucket.  The inner lid screws on and off, while the adapter ring remains installed.  Quick easy and airtight.  No more prying off standard bucket lids.  Use buckets + these lids for grain storage and more.

How much grain can you store in a 5 gallon bucket?  My rule of thumb for grain storage capacity is 5 lbs per gallon.  With that estimate a  50 lb sack of grain fits in (2) 5 gallon buckets.  That’s an estimate and will vary.

About Brain Eater, from Great Fermentations:

It’s the beer of the living dead! This Zombie Dust Clone is loaded with Citra hops that invigorate the senses and engage the palate. A very light first wort hop addition keeps the bitterness down, while hop-bursting the beer and aggressively dry hopping with Citra hops give it a very pronounced hop flavor and aroma. The bite of Citra is offset by crystal 60L and melanoidin malts, which contribute body, sweetness and character to the beer, A touch of carapils for body and foam stability is included as well, perfectly balancing this beer. Delicious and inviting, Brain Eater Pale Ale is sure to please your hopheaded friends. It is the perfect beer for the impending zombie apocalypse!

Hands on Review: Monster Mill MM-3 Grain Mill! + Supply Issues, Get Them While You Can

Updated: 5/14/2024

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Monster Mill MM-3

I started milling my own grains not too long after I switched to all-grain. At first I thought the idea was laughable to mill my own grains- why buy something and do the work myself, when I could get it done for free at the homebrew shop? But once my process had stabilized a fair amount, I became frustrated by my inability to hit the recipe’s planned OG. On my batches where my gravity was lower than predicted, I found a notable number of fully intact grains in the spent grains from my mash. Aiming for consistency, I wanted to make sure all my grains were always crushed, so I bought a 2-roller grain mill. That worked well, but if I wanted to optimize mash efficiency, I was always dancing on the edge of a stuck mash.


adyeast


The 3-roller mill from Monster Brewing Hardware passes through a first pair of rollers that have a fixed gap. That is machined to be 0.060”, with the intention of doing a minimal crush to soften the inside of the grain without really breaking the husk. After the first pair of rollers, it passes through the gap that you can adjust to your liking. The instructions provided with the mill recommend 0.045” for a medium crush, 0.055” for a coarse crush, and 0.038” for a fine crush. But of course the beauty of having your own mill is you can adjust it as you want, based on what works best for you.

The MM-3 3-roller mill comes with some options. The base rollers are 1144 steel alloy that is durable for long life, but can get some surface rust if used in a non-climate-controlled area, or if you wet mill your grain. For those homebrewers, they offer a stainless steel roller option, which they say has the same durability as the steel alloy base rollers. If you are a manic homebrewer, they offer a 3rd option with their MM-3 Pro series, which has heat treated rollers. These apparently have about 10x the life durability, but the price tag roughly doubles over the base MM-3.

The other option to choose from is the drive shaft size. Standard is a 1/2″ drive, but 3/8” is available as a smaller option. The 3/8” really isn’t recommended since 3/8” drive drills typically don’t have the torque to drive this mill. It can also be hard to find a cordless drill with enough torque to drive it, so Monster Mill recommends a corded drill. If you order the grain hopper from Monster Mill, it comes standard in galvanized 20-gauge steel, or optional stainless steel. Galvanized steel is corrosion resistant, so the only real advantage of stainless for your grain hopper is the “bling effect”.


Limited Time Availability Info:
