I need to get a mill - any advice?
|
|
Hi,
I need to be buy a mill. I'm having a hard time finding information for any information on mills (like some of the pitfalls associated with getting the lowest price ones).
I know the milling can effect efficiency.. does anyone have any comments before I buy one?
I would like to get this one:

Any help would be appreciated!

I have the Barley Crusher and am very happy with it, A very good mill for the money.
Randy the owner is a great guy too and stands behind his product.

+1 for the Barley Crusher. I've got the one with the 7lb hopper and am very happy with it as well.

A nice mill that should work very well...adjustment is a bit more involved than the more expensive models...but it should work very well when set...If you are handy w/ some mechanical apptitude, I would think the adjustment is easy.

I bought a Malt Mill at the LHBS, non-adjustable model and use the hand crank. Very sturdy, reliable and does a good crush.

Wow that Malt Mill is expensive.
I think you can take off the handle, and then use a drill on the nub to crank it in a circular motion. I saw someone on a video do that.
