So I built a grain mill per JakeCPUnut's YouTube video (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/short-video-my-first-use-barley-crusher-grain-mill-233615/). It works great, such a time saver.
My problem arose when I tried malt conditioning. First time worked great. I got a nice fluffy grind. Mostly all the hulls were intact.
Second time I malt conditioned I kept getting a stuck grind. The grain being ground up got so thick and stuck to the rollers it actually froze up. The motor couldn't even break it free. Let's say the rest of the grind was a PITA.
I had to completely disassemble the grinder and scrub each roller with a brush to clean. What's going on? Anyone else encounter this? Did I use too much h2o while malt conditioning?
Before u ask, it's a barleycrusher & I use the factory settings (i think .039).
Thanks
