Wiki addition: Evaluating the malt crush

I had been thinking about this article for a while. Last brewday (actually brewnight ) I took the time to crush small samples of malt at various settings of my malt mill. With and without conditioning and I also used the food processor for one sample. The result is a wiki page that is intended to guide the brewer in the evaluation of the crush for the malt that they are using:

In the past I have seen a lot of good and poor crushes from HBSs which means that you cannot trust the ones who should know about this. Especially when they have an adjustable mill wich everybody can mess up or a mill unsuitable for milling malt.

Feedback is always welcome.

I'll be working on the article for malt conditioniong next as this is an advanced technique that some brewers showed interest in.

nice job kaiser!

I added an example for corona-style mills since I took a picture for another thread earlier today.

great photos! exactly what I've been looking for! good job

Great job Kaiser, This should be seen by all noob's. I remember when I first got my mill and had no clue really what to look for. Prior to getting my mill I just relied on my LHBS, hoping that they knew best.

Thank you for your continued quality additions to the Wiki, Kaiser.

Excellent article, thanks! I'm anxious to see your malt conditioning article when you finish it.

Fantastic article and very well done...thank you.
