I am in the process of assembling the parts to add a motorized mill to my brewing collection.
I have tried to search the forum and other websites for description of acceptable RPMs. But, all I see is "175 is the sweet spot", "keep it under 300 unless you are ok with a little more flour", "I run mine at 250".
What I am really looking for is a minimum RPM. I keep hearing sweet spot, but no one explains if that is crush quality or balance of speed vs. quality. It seems that every someone asks about a speed they say I am looking at X,Y,or Z motor and get a "that will work fine" response. Is the crush at 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 RPM and so on the same or is there a noticeable difference?
