Hi all, were brewing the 1st batches on our new system. We burnt our auger motor out last week and found out we had a bad bearing in the topside of our auger. The auger Also jammed up completely on our second batch when we used Maris otter. Don't know if the maris had anything to do with it.
But it got me thinking, our brewer has been augering grain in with low water flow or sometimes no flow in the hydrator. Our hydrator is the style with a China hat in it to force grain outward in a whirlpool of grain and water. Is it necessary to have high flow liquor running through these? Will they jam up without water flow?
