In the market for a grain mill. Looked at several options, but not sure I've decided yet. Could use help deciding what will fit my needs best.
Just getting into AG. Will be grinding a little of everything, except corn. Usage will be 12-15 gallons per month, plus a little bottled as gifts, averaging around 1.055. I'm handy. so barebones is just fine. Will probably drill-power it. Don't think I need three rollers. Please, no Coronas, pasta presses, coffee grinders, etc. And Barley Crushers are out for me because of some reviews I've seen.
I think that leaves me with:
JSP Malt Miller Model P @ $85
Crankandstein 2D? @ $124
Monster Mills MM2 @ $117
AHB Cereal Killer @ $109
I'd be willing to go up to $150 if there's something measurably better. I don't want to replace the mill for... gulp... 10 years.
Gear drive? Adjustable? Case hardened? No-rust alloys? I'm drowning in options. Help?
