      Hey all,
      
      Wondering what sort of gadgets people use to crush grain? Starting in the bottom (cheaper) end, I was curious if coffee grinders, kitchen wizz sticks etc are ok for crushing for BIAB?
      
      Any experience, suggestions

      Glad to hear you found someone to look after you BB. We are lucky here in Aussie as there are quite a few retailers that you can send your exact recipe to and they'll weigh and crush it regardless of the quantities.
      
      If you do get to the stage where you want a mill, get a good one. I remember going to a mates and he had the slowest, hand-powered mill ever. We had beers while we crushed the grain and I swear we were drunk by the time we had finished crushing - it took ages. The rest of the day...

      Note that Galaxy hops are a recent Australian variety with a lot of aroma - they are available from CraftBrewer who post worldwide - apparently they are very competitive on hop prices and a good source of New Zealand and Australian hops(no affiliation)

      Hi All,
      
      I was wondering if there is someone on here that lives on/near the gold coast? Be nice to have a local bagger to have a beer with & maybe do a brew.
      
      Cheers
