DIY Maltmill [08046]
Only $99.99. That's a savings of $30.00 of the normal price of $129.99

Make your own damn malt mill! This is the mill and crank section of a malt mill. You will need to supply the base and a hopper

This mill features 6" long rollers. This allows faster milling compared to 5" rollers. We were able to mill 6 pounds of base grains in just 30 seconds with a standard electric drill.

Specifications:

6" long adjustable gap (Instead of 5")
Heavy duty screws (no rivets)
Includes 4 screws to attach a base (not pictured)
Includes removable hand crank
Fully adjustable mill
Drill or hand crank driven
Alloy frame with screw holes for the base
1.25" diameter steel rollers
Made in America

You can hand crank or power this mill with a drill or motor. Get to it.

You have instructions on how to make hopper and fasten to mill (for a newbie)?

I see two bolts on the inside edge for fastening a hopper to the frame. I assume there are another 2 or 4 along the bottom to attach it to a wood plate or a table. If they don't have instructions for forming the hopper, there has to be a diy video around somewhere. I'm gonna look. This mill is what I've been wanting as far as paying for the hard parts and diy for the easy stuff.

There are four screws along the bottom to mount a wood plate. As far as a hopper goes some of the guys around here have are experimenting with 6 gallon buckets and fitting them to the mill as a hopper. if you have a cutting and nibbling tool you could also use a piece of sheet metal and make a hopper for the unit. Either option works and the DIY aspect helps reduce the price of the mill for you.

Just bought one. I'll probably start with a drill and a crap wood hopper - plan is to eventually have it explosion proof motor powered with a hopper that can handle a whole sack of grain - hehe I sid sack.

These bad boys are starting to roll off the shelf and out the door. The new year is the perfect time for all of ya'll to start a new brew project like building a fancy mill.
