I had been thinking about this article for a while. Last brewday (actually brewnight ) I took the time to crush small samples of malt at various settings of my malt mill. With and without conditioning and I also used the food processor for one sample. The result is a wiki page that is intended to guide the brewer in the evaluation of the crush for the malt that they are using:

In the past I have seen a lot of good and poor crushes from HBSs which means that you cannot trust the ones who should know about this. Especially when they have an adjustable mill wich everybody can mess up or a mill unsuitable for milling malt.
Feedback is always welcome.
I'll be working on the article for malt conditioniong next as this is an advanced technique that some brewers showed interest in.
