What makes you say they didn't do a good job milling? I've had milled grain settle a ton in shipping leaving a bunch of flour on the bottom and the larger chunks on top. Makes the crush look poor at first but it still made fine brew.

Cause i looked at the grains very closely and 85% are not even cracked..the rest are just split
I'd blow a bunch of money on a mill like this one (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000T3ML4G/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) and order my grains whole. It gives you the control on the milling and allows you to buy kits and store them for the time when you want to brew.

If you have a food processor, then an alternative would be to do this brew as a BIAB. Pulse the grain a couple times in the food processor and proceed using the BIAB method. Don't turn it to dust but break it up good. Turn this batch from a 50-60% efficiency batch into an 80%+ efficiency batch.
