The Alfred's Barley Crusher MaltMill, the "Home Brewer's Best Friend" has proven to be just that. A high quality grain mill constructed using materials that will last a lifetime. 1018 cold rolled steel rollers on bearings with aluminum body and hopper. This will be the only grain mill you will ever purchase! Now comes complete with base that fits nicely over a 5 gallon bucket

Get your perfect crush at home with this adjustable two roller grain mill with 7 lb hopper and wood base. To adjust rollers, simply loosen screws, adjust gap and tighten two screws. Attaching to a drill is easy, remove the handle with one screw and attach the drill, no adapter needed. If using drill, it is recommendd to run at 300 rpm. Hardened steel rollers are 5" long and 1.25" diameter. Body is anodized aluminum for a lifetime worth of use. Six month warranty. This product requires some assembly:

After a gap change ensure you tighten the eye bolts to lock the rollers in place. 

Hopper needs to be bolted together.
Base needs to be bolted to mill.
Mill needs to be bolted to hopper.
All hardware included.

First cleaning: These are brand new mills and do have oils leftover from the manufacturing process. Simply run a handful of grains through the mill and discard the grains.

After too long, and a bunch of work, Monster Brewing Hardware now has a base and hopper to go with their mills. Finally, you can purchase our mill, and hopper/base system, and in a matter of minutes after taking it out of the box, be able to mill grain. No more fabrication required!

The hopper is constructed from 20 gauge G90 hot dip galvanized steel that should never rust. The material is more than 35 thousandths thick, and is super strong! The pieces are laser cut, and then CNC bent by our supplier in the USA. The hopper stands 9” tall above the mill, and the opening at the top is 11.5” by 12.75” with a capacity of at least 11 pounds of 2-row or pilsner malt. The hopper design directs the grist down into the mill gap, keeping it both away from the ends of the rollers, and from bouncing out of the gap. In testing there were no problems with positive feeding. The main six hopper parts are the same for any of our mills, while the sides that hold the hopper are different for each mill, and double as covers to keep the grist below the base.

Because the parts are built very accurately, the holes line up perfectly. The whole works assembles easily in minutes with the included #8 machine screws, washers, and nylon insert lock nuts. We include nylon insert nuts so they won’t vibrate loose while milling. The hopper mounts to the top of the mill using the included ¼-20 half inch long mounting bolts. If you had an erector set when you were a kid, the process should bring back fond memories. (hopefully!) The only tools necessary for assembly are a Philips screwdriver PLUS an 11/32” box end wrench, socket, or a pair of pliers.

The base is hand fabricated by a local cabinet maker from medium density fiber board, and measures just under 12” x 12”. The top edges and corners are radiused for smoothness, and the window for the grist to fall through is hand routed. The base fits over standard 5-6 gallon plastic buckets, and holds the mill frames straight and securely.

This is a large polyester bag with a drawstring. Making it ideal for use with any of our Stainless Steel kettles (8 gallon to 19 gallon). Brew-in-a-Bag (BIAB) is an all grain brewing solution that is an easier and more cost effective way to produce delicious beer. Most people will prefer to increase the grain bill to compensate for not rinsing the grains after the mash. 

Can be secured to a pot with the drawstring on the lip as the picture illustrates on a eight gallon pot. Or can use as a giant bag inside a pot.

No need to monitor wort level - will never overflow and spill like competitive units!
Fully enclosed system from brew pot to fermentor means no volitile hop aromas are lost!
Inlet at the bottom allows air to automatically purge to reduce hot-side aeration
Fine filter with wiper seal sends very clear wort to your fermentor.
Coarse filter and cone bottom inlet prevents wort channeling and backup for even hop utilization
Works on gravity systems and with pumps (about 4ft (1M) of static head is recommended for best gravity performance)
Doubles as an awesome hop infuser (Randalizer) for your dispensing system
1/2" NPT connections are easy to adapt to - a perfect match for our popular QuickConnector fittings (1/2", 3/8" barb and 1/4" flare)

New to the Blichmann Engineering lineup is the patent pending HopBlocker boil kettle filtration system! Over a year of brutal but tasty research yielded a filtration system that has up to 95% efficiency and is virtually impervious to plugging! We have tested the HopBlocker with over a pound of pellet hops in a 20gal batch and it brought them to their knees.

Traditional screen filters quickly plug with pellet hops and other fine break material since they draw from the bottom of the pot and immediately suck all the break material into the screens where they quickly plug. For the HopBlocker, we utilized preferrential flow to leave the settled fine break material (hops and trub) undisturbed at the bottom of the pot while draining the majority of the wort through a coarse filter from the top down. When the wort level is just a couple inches from the bottom of the pot, the fine filter element is then exposed by lifting the shield and the remainder of the wort is filtered. This way, the fine filter only has to filter a small portion of the wort instead of all of it. The HopBlocker will filter 90-95% of the break material and hops out of your wort without plugging. While it is designed specifically for BoilerMaker pots, it can be installed in any manufacturers pot or keg. Instructions provided.

PLEASE NOTE: The HopBlocker is designed for use with PELLET hops ONLY. Whole loose hope will PLUG the unit. For using with whole hops, or a mix of whole and pellet hops, you need to bag your whole hops in a large muslin grain bag. This will not effect the utilization rate and will result in significantly less wort loss.

Whole Hop Recommendations: Leaf hops are generally not a problem and are trapped by the coarse screen. However, we highly recommend using large muslin grain bags for one main reason: you lose a large amount of wort from leaf hop absorption. Using a bag you can squeeze most of this out and hop utilization is negligibly affected using this method. Lastly, cleanup is significantly easier. This method does not work for pellet hops since they pass through the openings in the muslin bag. On the other hand, nylon fine mesh bags do not readily allow wort to pass through and utilization is reduced.

Installing in non-BoilerMaker pots: The HopBlocker was specifically designed for use in the BoilerMaker line of brew pots. Howeve,r it can be installed in other manufacturers equipment. A 1/2" outside diameter drain tube with a 90 deg bend (not included) will need to be installed 3" from the bottom of the pot. The bottom of the tube should be about 3/8"-1/2" from the bottom of the pot or keg. Since you can't rotate the tube to thread it into the inside of your pot when the tube is inserted into the HopBlocker, you will need a flare or compression connection so you can tighten the tube in-place without turning the tube. Try to locate the tube so that the HopBlocker is as close as possible to the sidewall of the pot. For keg based brew pots, you'll need to install it in the center of the pot since it has a rounded bottom. However, effectiveness of the HopBlocker will be reduced.

A premium immersion chiller made with 50 feet of 3/8" OD, Canadian made copper tubing. The main coils on this chiller have a lower and wider profile than most 3/8" chillers. 

Whether you're brewing with extract or all-grain, bringing down the temperature of the wort quickly in order to pitch the yeast is an essential step in homebrewing. Lowering the temperature quickly reduces chances of contaminating your beer with wild yeasts and bacteria, and will reduce the levels of DMS (dimethyl sulfide) that can ruin a beer's aroma. A quick chilling of the wort will also improve clarity in the final product.

When using an immersion chiller there's no unnecessary transferring to different containers, and there's no need to dilute the wort with cold water. Just drop the immersion chiller in to the brew pot. The preferred method of sanitation is to make sure it is clean to the eye and submerge the coil portion of the chiller in to the wort during the last 15 minutes of the boil, this will kill any wild yeasts or unsanitary pests that might be introduced. Once the brew pot is taken off the boil, you can begin cooling immediately by hooking up the line and turning on the water.

A premium compact immersion chiller made with 25 feet of 3/8" OD, Canadian made copper tubing. The main coils on this chiller have a lower and wider profile than most 3/8" chillers. This gorgeous unit is designed to chill five gallons of hot wort in as little as ten minutes, but is capable of cooling larger batches as well.

Whether you're brewing with extract or all-grain, bringing down the temperature of the wort quickly in order to pitch the yeast is an essential step in homebrewing. Lowering the temperature quickly reduces chances of contaminating your beer with wild yeasts and bacteria, and will reduce the levels of DMS (dimethyl sulfide) that can ruin a beer's aroma. A quick chilling of the wort will also improve clarity in the final product. Having the garden hose adapters hooked directly up to the wort chiller gives you the ability to quick and easily hook up your desired hose, this means that you have far more freedom as to what hose to use further expanding your options. 

The compact design of this wort chiller makes it far less intrusive and easier to fit in tighter locations. Perfect for those with space constraints while still providing the excellent performance of our other wort chillers.
