Just back in myself. Retired, work pt at our lhbs, and use their mill (Monster 2 roller) but will probably be getting one again - motorized Kegco 3-roller. What type are you looking for?

I think we may need the long story.
I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a 2 roller mill.
I made a lot of beer and started 2 breweries in Mexico, with some partners. I opened a couple of tasting rooms and closed them after Covid. Decided to get back to brewing and purchased a bunch of grain. As for my old equipment, everything was either sold or reused and left at the breweries.
Gotcha. I can tell you, the 3-roller Kegco performed very well for me. They offer a 2-roller mill for $110.

I have a spare barley crusher that works pretty well, but sometimes it was losing grip on the grain. it it has a lifetime warranty so it can be sharpened or whatever it needs for free. $70 if you want it.

Are you handy? I have a 2 roller mill that worked great for me, but recently had to get a new one because I broke off one of the locking eyelet bolts into the body of the mill. If you can somehow get it out and replace the eyelet bolt it's perfect otherwise. I just didn't have an extraction bit, and needed to act quick.
If so, just shoot me a PM. Cover shipping and it's yours.

$155 now wow. Everyone's getting in on massive profits and blaming inflation it seems.
I think I was thinking of this one - not sure what the difference is between this 2-roller and the other one.

Honestly, a roller mill is a roller mill, except for warranty, size, and roller steel types. Some have hardened steel that last thousands of pounds of grain but rust, some are stainless which is softer and will wear down but not rust, some are regular steel and in the middle.
Not really for free - I sent my Barley Crusher in to have the rollers worked on and I paid to ship it there and return shipping back. That could have been better money spent on a new mill head.
Same issue as your, wasn't pulling the grain through very well. Actually, after I got it back it wasn't much better but I did get many years of use out of it before the issues.

I think I set the gap too tight as well.
I always had it set to crush the grain not mill it to dust. If the mill produced too much dusk it was too tight for my brewing experience.
I have sent a message.
Are you still looking for a grain mill?
yes
