Hey All - figured I'd post this up for those of us who are not in the least DIY-Savvy, but still like to give it a shot!
Been wanting to mill my own for awhile, picked up a $25 corona mill and a homer bucket and here you go. (pics at bottom)
Step1: massacre a homer bucket. notch the top on one side so a board sits flat, and make an opening in the other.
Step2: cut a hole in a board. attach Corona mill; grocery store bag attached to bottom to direct grains into homer bucket.
Step3: massacre a vinegar bottle for hopper. attach with post office tape.
Step4: is a little tilty, so counter weight on left side with something; random basement wood will do.
What do you think? my efficiency has been unpredictable (from the 60's to the 80's) - - so looking forward to crushing my own to pin down that variable.
Have an Amarillo Pale Ale planned for about 2 weeks; so hopefully I can report back that this mess didn't fall apart after 10lbs. (tests are looking positive).
