So, I have this Barley crusher that has crushed about 60 pounds of malt in its lifetime. Last night after milling my grain bill for my brew today, I noticed it didnt seem quiet as fine as it has in the past... not bad, but not the same.
So I check the gap... somehow it was opened up to about 1.038 from about 1.035. A large difference when using feeler gagues. So I start to attempt to adjust it and realize that there is a small pin on the NON adjustable roller that has wiggled out about 1/4" and therefore it is not aligning the roller well with the bushing.
I pop this sucker back in... but now I am having a problem that I have never had before. I insert the feeler gauge, adjust the roller and tighten the set screw to hold it in place... Only problem is, when I tighten the screw, it moves the roller! So, now my .035" gap isnt... it is about .032" and I can barely remove the damn feeler gauge.
Anyone else ever have a problem with this? Where when you tighten the set screw, it actually moves the rollers and throws your gap out of whack?
Looking for some insight here before I call them to see why my adjustable mill, isnt quite so adjustable anymore.
