I am planning to start grain brewing real soon! I built a mash-tun and wort cooler. Unfortunately my LBS doesn't have a grain crusher on site, so I've decided to buy a roller mill of my own, rather than buy already crushed grain. I liked idea of using larger rollers, so I decided upon the MM2-2.0 roller mill from Monster Brewing Hardware.
Now I want to design and build a hopper, but I don't know how large to build it. I'd like it to be able to handle enough grain for a 5 gallon batch. I'm thinking about using wood and/or sheet metal.
Does anyone know how many cubic inches or gallons the grain hopper needs to be?
Thanks
Bob
