Grain Mill Hopper
« on: June 01, 2012, 01:43:41 PM »
Here is my fancy new grain mill hopper.  I have 14 lbs of grain in the hopper in the pic. Apparently one of those big boxes of cereal from costco fits even better... Anyways I saw it on homebrewtalk and thought it was pretty neat!

Bad quality pics...

Yeah I just emptied our oatmeal and the cupboard and took it, so very cheap hahah.

Not pretty, but gets the job done anyway

That's pretty cool, and disposable!

Wish I could find the picture to post, but it's gone...

When I installed my geothermal in November of 2010, the contractor who did the duct work for upstairs was way behind schedule and it was getting cold...
I took a 6 cu. ft. packing box and shoved it between the top of the geothermal unit and the bottom of the old ductwork that fed downstairs, turned the pump on and heated the main floor of the house for nearly 2 weeks!
