Best place to get a grain mill

[McMullan]

I was leaning cereal killer's way, but on another forum I was offered a barley crusher that's not being used for the cost of shipping it to me.

Man I love this mill below. Got it a few months ago. I don't know if 3 rollers is much better than 2, but I know I'll NEVER have a mill where the top two rollers are not geared. When one of those is a freewheeler, you're bound to have issues. Look at the pic and you'll see it's also easy to adjust the gap. And, there is a great hex shape to the shaft where it's easy to grab with a drill. My last mill just had a round shaft and occasionally my drill would slip.

Looks like an analogue radio. Very retro!

Worth a shot I reckon, but be forewarned the BC eventually causes shpilkes in the genecktecessoink
Hopefully the one heading your way didn't reach that level already...

Cheers!

It does look kind of steampunk.

The guy offering it said he replaced it with amother mill and had this one reconditioned by the manufacturer.

If they loaded fresh rollers in it you should be good for many years. I had run at least 3000 pounds of malt through mine before I just got tired of dealing with roller stalls and bought the CK mill...

Cheers!

I've been using one of these for the last few years and have been very pleased.
I don't think you can beat the price vs quality combination for non-geared two-roller mills...

Same here. Working great for me. I even still use the hand crank!

Uh-oh...............

Most people are ashamed to admit they use it.

Most people are ashamed to admit they use it.

10 years ago, when I bought my Barley Crusher, I tried it with the hand crank on it's maiden voyage. 2nd batch, I broke out the cordless drill. When I bought my Malt Muncher a few weeks ago, the first thing I did was put the handle back in the box......

My first purchase in the hobby was 6 kegs. Back then, they were $25/ea for good used ball locks. A month later I bought my starter kit from Northern Brewer. After the 3rd batch, I bought a kegging package (minus the kegs) from AiH.

I'm pretty lazy when it comes to brewing.

Fixed

[edit] I guess I have no idea how many people crank by hand. But I can't imagine being industrious enough to brew your own beer and not having a drill to turn the mill shaft.
