Will an antique grist mill work?
|
|
I was at a local antique store and noticed a table top grist mill in the corner. It appears to have a conical roller that can be adusted to allow for different grinds. It's made like a tank, can be disassembled, and is in good working order.
Any idea if this would work for a grain mill?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Sounds like a helluva find. You can make your own flour too.
Price?

It had a sticker price of $65, but can probably pick it up for $50. It was converted to operate with a motor, which is included but probably 75 years old. Still works, though!
It's all cast iron with a small hopper which could be easily increased in size.
I think I need to make a trip to the antique store...

You will have to see how much adjustability you can get with the adjustment screw....it says on the ebay site;

ON BACK OF MILL IS ADJUSTING LEVER AND SCREW FOR FINE AND COURSE GRINDING

But since it's a corn and grain mill....just a different style than the corona type...I really don't see why not.
You may have to do like I did originally and do some googling about how to tweak it for brewing.
