Anyone still milling grain with a hand crank???

[Andrew Hodgson]

I wouldn't want to get the exercise it'd take to hand crank 21-22lbs of grain! i'd have to drink even more beer for the calories!

Yeah if I did 10 gallon batches I'd have a chinese drill in a heartbeat, 10-13lbs isn't too bad.

hell if it floats your boat, it's cheaper then a gym membership!

just remember to use both arms, girls don't like lopsided!

i use a 1/2 drill...I've heard that with the corona mills all you need is a "hook bolt"? not sure if that the right word but its just like an eye bolt but the eye is open. hooks into the loop on the crank and away you go

on that one all you'd need to do, is if it has a lock...find a stick or something....speed controll and everything...

I hand crank mine. It's usually about 8 pounds of grain; sometimes as much as 10 lbs but not often. The exercise is good for me
