A Grain Sampler is a tool or device used to collect representative samples of grain from storage units, transport vehicles, or processing lines. Accurate sampling is essential in agriculture and grain trading because it ensures that quality evaluations reflect the overall condition of the stored or transported grain. Proper sampling supports fair grading, pricing, and quality control procedures.

Grain quality can vary within a single batch due to differences in moisture content, foreign material presence, kernel size, or possible contamination. A Grain Sampler helps obtain small portions from multiple points within a larger quantity, reducing the risk of biased or unrepresentative samples. These collected samples are then analyzed for characteristics such as moisture level, test weight, protein content, and presence of damaged kernels or pests.

There are different types of Grain Sampler devices designed for various operational needs. Manual probes are commonly used in smaller storage bins or trucks. These probes…

I am wondering what you think about a new type of blog post that features our personal beer review of a commercial beer plus some resources to try to create a clone recipe of the beer. This could be a nationally available beer (posted to the Home Brewer's Group) or a local one (posted to the appropriate state group).

The clone part of the post could be as simple as linking to resources on the particular beer style (Craft Beer & Brewing website) or maybe searching BeerSmith or BrewFather libraries for a specific attempt at a clone. For example, I know there are plenty of clones for Pliney The Elder IPA. Also, there are some pro brewer's who release their recipes (Like Vinny Cilurzo, Russian River)

Finally, this would be a great local piece if we could sit and talk with the brewer about a particular beer (perhaps even interview…
