I agonized over my choices for a mill for several months. Have been using a modified pasta mill for the last 9-10 months Last brew day was painful to say the least, took around 45 minutes to grind a 12 Lb grain bill. It's time for a real mill... Considered a Corona style mill, I decided against it in favor of a mill designed to crush grain for brewing. Nothing against a Corona, many brewers are getting good results with them, just my personal preference.
I ultimately decided to get a Crankandstein 3D mill with a hopper and an attachment to adapt a 1/2 drive. Planning to use my Shopsmith to drive this thing, ordered the mill earlier this week. Can't wait to get it, but I have to wait for them to build one. Should be here around the end of Feb.
