So, I got one of those cheap corona style grain mills -
I don't recommend. The adjustment is really touchy, and the mill plate (or whatever you call it) is not square. Some grains come out as powder, while others come out without a scratch. Needless to say, it caused my first stuck mash in my brewing career today - not fun.
I have yet to see what kind of efficiency I will get from the crush. My pre-boil gravity reads at 1.036 or so - from 9lbs of 2-row, .5 lbs Biscuit, and .5 lbs Crystal (80L). I'll let ya'll know what the gravity reads post boil later tonight.
Well . . . hop addition coming up . . . .5 oz. Saaz.
