OBKrusher owner reviews?

[rhys333]

Hi all, I'm considering buying the OBKrusher from Ontario Beer Kegs. Its quite a bit cheaper than Monster Mill and similar products ($120 CAD before shipping). http://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/OBKrusher_Grain_Mill_with_7_lb_hopper_p/grain-mill-obkrusher.htm

Those of you than own and use one, wondeing how you like it... is it durable, easy to use, strong enough to easily handle anything you need to mill for all-grain batches?

Thanks in advance.

Just placed an order for one today. I'll let you know my initial impression when it arrives.

Awesome, thanks. I noticed they had it on sale last week... Just missed it though!

Arrived yesterday (ordered and arrived in less than 24 hours...way to go OBK).

Just got it assembled, which was easy enough, no instructions were included though. The hopper is stable, and the rollers/base is well put together (heavy too, probably about 5-6 pounds). The whole thing sits on a mdf base that will sit on a bucket easily. Adjusting the crush takes a little bit of playing with (the few hand full of grains that I ran through it were anywhere from flour to no crush), but I'm confident that it won't take too much effort to get exactly where I want it.

This is my first mill, so I can't compare it to anything else, but I'm confident that it will be all that I ever need. Hope this helps.

I've done about 10 all grain batches with the OBKrusher. Works great. Others are right about no instructions and takes a bit to set up, but I imagine any other grain mill is the same. Go ahead and buy!

I have done 10+ batches on the OBK. No complaints really.
Just be sure your rollers are straight, or they may stick a little. It's a bit tricky fine tuning your crush, but not actually difficult.
Good product for a really fair price.
