So I took the day off and finally got off my arse to build a milling station for the new MM3-20 mill by Monster Brewing I bought back in May. I don't know why I'd been procrastinating, I've had everything I needed but just couldn't get motivated.
I only had a loose design in my head when I started - this is what I came up with. Its powered by a 1/2 hp GE motor I picked up off eBay.
I wanted the footprint as small as possible (it's 16" deep x 24" wide) and for one of my 15 gallon containers to fit directly under the mill. That couldn't happen due to the large sheave - so I built this little shoot that you see in the photo above attached to the mill.
Here is inside the hopper - not sure how much grain it will hold as I didn't do the math, but its pretty good size.
And a pic of it all from the rear.
