Just finished building my hopper setup for the Crankenstein Mill I got from the group buy ;D
Used an old water cooler bottle and a bedroom shelf.
Seems fine and I hope to get my first brew on this weekend.
Will try and get a pic posted up later.
This is what I did last week. Works great.

Wheres that picture Snuff? Looking forward to seeing it as I consider which hopper ot make!
Dempsey mentioned having a template for plywood hopper at Liffey Brewers January meet. Would be good to get a look at if he wouldn't mind sharing?
Today I tried out my recent build and it worked like a dream. None of the complex stuff I see online. Will get a picture or two uploaded when I get a chance. Crush was great and brewday went without a problem.

The slippers are my did not have my morning coffee yet ones,and the wan out in the garden is in fact in the conservatory :P :P and no the second picture does not mean it is crooked,it's just the way you are looking at it. ;)
That's a tidy hopper alright Dempsey. I was inspired by it at the Liffey brewers meet and tried to knock one like it together. Wasted a sheet of ply and a whole day's work.
I went with a trimmed down version of the water cooler mode (https://wardiesworld.wordpress.com/category/brewing/grainmill/)l which took about an hour to make. Works well!
Any pics imark? I still havent made mine yet.
Nice work Dempsey, are you selling them flat packed?

Sure. You can see my initial attempt of a Dempsey-hopper clone behind. There wasn't enough room to attach it and the bolts for the mill.

He should do. It's more difficult than you'd think to bodge one together with a jigsaw and a few screws.
