    I literally brewed my first AG batch this past Sunday, and I ordered a "barley crusher" malt mill: http://www.barleycrusher.com/, you can get them online for as little as $152 w/shipping, maybe less, but that is as low as I could find them.

    Great crush, I was able to get an 81% efficiency w/ its default .039 setting from my first AG!:rockin:

    That would be my suggestion for the value and pricing.

    Had mine for many years. Love it. Efficency in the mid 80s. I use the factory setting and run the grain through twice.

    I to have a "barley crusher" malt mill. Its really pricey for what you are getting. Its built like a piece of poo in my opinion but its gets the job done. If i had it to do over i would buy a higher end mill. One that will last and that is built a little tougher.

    Cheap corona mill...some love em...some don't. They are tough, around 8-10 pounds of poorly cast iron.

    I have had good results w/ mine, but of course, like most things in life. results vary w/ the user.

    FWIW, Barley Crusher malt mills have a lifetime warranty.:eek:
