Thinking about getting a grain mill. What do you think about the Barley Crusher?
Damn Squirrels said:I have a crankandstein. I haven't crushed a full batch of grain yet, I've only played with it... however, I will say I'm not so enthralled that I would advocate it over the barleycrusher. I'm sure they each have their issues.

I can mill that much easily in under a minute. Very easy to adjust the gap. I just need a drill with more torque. With a small gap, hard grains like wheat and rye can stall out my drill. If I make the gap wider, no problems, but a less fine (but still acceptable) crush.
