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.

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.

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 model which took about an hour to make. Works well!
