I read king arther powder malt will become a brick if not used fast, how about this

Dry milk products will harden over time if exposed to moisture in the air. When this is opened, if you aren't going to use it very fast, pour it into a plastic bag and seal tightly, then stuff the bag back into the can again so you know what it is and it should be fine for months.

If you can't use it within a year, it might start to harden. If that is the case, don't buy this larger 2.5 lb. size. Go for the smaller jar. I happen to like chocolate malts - with LOTS of malt - so it goes really fast at my house, even in this size, and never has a chance to harden.

I have only used this for vanillia milk shakes and I add a spash of vanilla extract. it has a multitude of uses as a malt~ very yum~ Enjoy

I have not had this happen with any of mine and I live on the wet side of the PNW wet coast.

The only way home brewing would be an option is if you were able to reuse an old barrel. I doubt stores sell an empty barrel.

There was a really good article in Brew your own mag. last month using this unit. Because of the weight of a brew pot the author built a support stand around the burner. The pot actually didn't even make contact with the glass and it worked fine

I'd say the oils in the flax seed will probably gum up near the grinder and go rancid. You're probably better off buying a dedicated grinder/blender.

no. The longer u hold it down & let it grind, the finer it becomes. There are recommendations in the paperwork. 14 seconds is what i am using for a medium grind.

You can call Kombucha Kamp directly and ask them about your specific situation; it should be ok unless it's left unattended for many hours in freezing weather. (note: I already answered this question in the forums; someone else asked, too, and I posted a direct quote from Kombucha Kamp, which I don't have to hand at the moment). This has been a really great company to deal with; prompt, great service, and willing to answer questions! Best of Luck!

Grinding rice helps eliminate powdering, a common condition with stone. Hopefully this granite is strong enough that it will not continue to powder. If it does then I would suspect the granite is of poor, weak quality. Could you kindly update us if the powdering eventually stopped after conditioning? I'm interested in buying this myself. Thanks! :-)

I will follow up this evening since I won't be at the unit till then. But I will tell you this. The unit has been working great for us at our brewery. We use it almost everyday and it is quite.

I'm sorry but I cannot give you a good answer. The powder yeast does not dissolve too easily when I add it to my dry cereal with cold milk. I prefer the granular form over the powder. For me the granular dissolves easier. Sorry I haven't tried making beer yet. Good luck.

You need expresso grinds, e.g. illy. You can make a new batch as soon as it is cool enough.

Not sure, It didn't last that long. It goes well with bourbon for bourbon & gingerale. It's quality stuff, wouldn't surprise me if there was an expiration date just for quality control.

Yes it will if used regularly. it has turned hard creosote that required hard pounding into much softer compound. It is MUCH easier to get through and there is a lot less of it after the use of Meeoc red devil.

I don't know whether there's a "right" answer to that question. I suggest trying it alone first and see how you feel about the results. I have not seen a need to combine Bu's Brew with any other product, so I have no empirical basis for my suggestion.

I agree w/ Danny. Sorry to get back to you so late. All I did was assemble the parts as this is weldless & I have had no problems w/ my kettle thus far. If you ever plan on doing big beers or more than 5 gallons then this is for you. I haven't done a 10 gallon batch just yet but I hope to some day. I find that this easily accommodates my needs & can last me another 25 years for all types of brewing styles & volumes. The only negative I would say is that if you don't ever plan to go more than 5 gallons then this is simply too big. That or if you planned to do a very high concentrated wort by boiling the wort over 3 hours - if you aren't going to do these things then just get an 8 gallon. I agree w/ Danny.

Yes, but remember it will tumble for weeks at the various grits. And it will survive. This unit is a BEAST. Just runs and runs. You can count on it to perform.

After making it? Only a few hours. Once you have made the brew, it's best to use it as soon as possible.

I give it to my son for the nutritional value it has. He is brain damaged. He has all his meals blended as he doesn't chew, and I put it in his smoothies. I haven't tried it and don't know how much malt flavor it has.From the recipes I've seen on Barry Farms web site, they seem to use it either as a sweetener or like a type of flour in breads and pizza crusts..
