^ Why not just cold crash both in the keg and dump the first glass from tap.

I want to avoid too much crap in the keg, to be honest. There's quite a bit of hops in the fermenter due to the hops being added post-boil into the no-chill cubes, so I want to avoid that in the kegs if I can. I don't want to clean out taps and posts for days in a month's time.

I can easily to a crash on one day, keg it, and then crash the next one the next day. Both kegs will then sit in the fridge at the same temp after the fact. Shouldn't take more than two or three days in total, depending on how much time I can scrape together.

Im not a Corona mill fan, although I use an old coffee type grinder/mill. ... but there are many brewers that more than happy with their corona mills

Where and how much do these cost? Im looking to get the cheapest option.

Also would pilsener be a good option to use as base for most ale styles? Im thinking 25kg pilsener and a handful of others.

Someone else on here also use Malteurop and afaik they're also happy.

I buy 25KG at a time @ R385 and this is my 3rd bag. > https://www.beerplus.co.za/category/...kg50kg-bag/161

Traditionally Pilsner is mostly used for lagers and Belgain style beers.
However I have succesfully used in ales, it depends what flavour profile you are looking for.

This is something you might want to try import for half the price from China

Hzhahahhha. The shipment for a bag of malt will cost 50x the price of the malt.

I think you are on the mill right? The shipment from China to Moz is stupidly expensive.

The mill costs $50 and shipment is $62. Plus 75% of this in taxes once it lands.

Aliexpress takes forever in SA 2-6 months maybe not something you want to use. We can use banggood with buffalo courier though

I got one second hand for R750. I feel it's been so worth it. I do sometimes wish I got a roller mill for better use of a drill but I'm getting so much back from my cheapie

Ouch ok.

There were some bargains on those mills for Black Friday in 2020, Benoni brew sold them for R350 a pop.

As luck would have it, my temp controller broke due to loadshedding. Now I'm cold crashing my lager batch.

Due to the price (money is tight) I brew everything with Pilsner Malt.

I brew for myself and not competitions, so im fine with the choice. I mostly add a little Aromatic Malt to the Pilsner when doing Ales.
