How's the crush?

timmah84 · Oct 18, 2012

I just received my 2MM monster mill in the mail today and finished setting it up.

I set the gap to .039 (the feeler gauge moved the rollers with a little resistance, hope thats correct) and did 4 lbs of 2-row to clean off the rollers.

It's all in what you want. Looks a bit loose in the pix, but hard to tell without a handfull. Mine is set at 0.034 which means nothing. Lauter and efficiency tells the tale.

Looks like you still have some grains that made it through whole... I would tighten it up a bit.

Yep +1. When I crush I see lots of flour and maybe half a husk at best. I have a BC @ .035

timmah84 · Oct 19, 2012

Alright, I try 036 and give that a go.

Here is the crush in my hand.

That crush looks great there now.

That's a fair amount of flour, but that's not much of a concern if the sparge works fine. I also get a good bit of flour and it's never been a problem for me.

Yeah, and I should have clarified, that was a handful of the .039 gap crush. I have a domed false bottom in my MLT (the fly guy one.) I should be fine on the batch sparge.

I get a fair bit of flour from the monster mills at my LHBS, I don't think I've ever noticed an uncrushed grain however, so thats good. I sparge easy with a bazooka tube and copper manifold and never have an issue. Great efficiency too!

Well, I hit 85% efficiency and over shot the OG - whoops!
