The Hoosier Motorized Mill

[bbognerks]

A couple months ago, I aquired a hoosier cabinet for free from a friend of a friend's wife. Yeah, I was like most of you when I first heard of it being offered. WTF is a hoosier cabinet? It's basically a bread dough making station. How nice, seems appropriate that it would be re-purposed for brewing.

The general idea of where things will go when done.

The reason why this thing is awesome. MEGA HOPPER!!!

And the height fitting

I will probably finish this up next week. I don't plan on refinishing it. I'm just too lazy for that nonsense. Maybe I will once it gets warmer and I have less projects going on.

Very cool. Look forward to seeing the finished product!

Yes, it's finished... for now. It's completely functional, but it looks rough. I think I will go ahead and re-finish the cabinet one of these days. But for now, it's good to go. Check it out.

Hole cut for the crushed grain to drop through. Also, the motor is mounted.

Test fitting the BC with the base I built to bring it up to the right height.

Double-checking the hopper clearance.

Setting the base in place and drilling pilot holes.

Mill installed. View of the large upper hopper.

Ready to mill.

All buttoned up and inconspicuous.

MOVIE of it working!!!
