Are you looking at the Barley Crusher in particular? Or asking about grain mills in general?
Barley Crusher is one specific model and one of the main, I'd say 3, used around here.
Available with a 7 or 15 pound hopper.

I got my Barley Crusher from AHS. Looks like they have free shipping right now.

I ordered mine right from the source. AHS does guarantee the best price though i think and they have free shipping over $100 which this is.
Be forewarned that there was a HUGE backorder of these recently over Christmas and people didn't get their Barley Crushers for a long time. They might be caught up now, but maybe not. I believe AHS drop ships these straight from the factory.

Straight from the AHS Barley Crusher page:
"This product will be in stock on Friday 11 February, 2011."
They are indeed drop shipped directly.
FYI - if anyone is also getting crappy efficiency, consider finding out if your supplier can crush twice, or I know that many people love the crush form certain online suppliers. I think Austin supply is the one I'm thinking of. Crushing twice can improve the crush if the supplier's mill is set a bit coarse.

Hmm...I was just playing around on Austin Homebrew Supply website and I can't find the barley crusher anymore. Did AHS stop selling them?

maybe they took it off the site till the 11th? I couldn't find it either.
Anyone order one of these from AHS recently? They state 20 days for delivery from the time they place order. I ordered a week ago, now just trying to see how much longer I have to wait or whether I need to break down and head to my LHBS for my next recipe. Thanks.
get the Monster Mill and hopper, you will be glad you did in a couple years from what I have heard.

+1 The MM would be my pick.
I have had a Barley Crusher for 2+ years with no problems.
And I will also point out that it comes with a lifetime warranty.

Um, don't mean to launch the whole "which mill is best" debate. I already ordered the Barley Crusher, I just want to know if anyone else here has recently ordered one (and I'm sure there must be a few) and how long did it take to arrive. The Barley Crusher website has a disclaimer about a "recent and unexpected influx of orders" and a delay of up to two weeks.
