I've been seeing a lot of threads on grain crush lately, so I put together a short video of my grain mill in action. I hope you guys find it informative. Enjoy!

I generally avoid it because I find myself making mistakes, like "intact husks...er uhh...intact kernels."Bobby_M said:I wondered when you were going to narrate on a vid.
Do you find that works better for you than at the slower speed? I geared my Crankandstein down to around 140 RPM.Yuri_Rage said:About 600 RPM. The gearmotor turns at 175, and I have a little less than a 4:1 ratio on the pulleys.
That's reassuring. I've got this really cheap single-speed corded drill that's around 1200RPM (no load) that I've been hoping to use for all my grinding needs, instead of risking busticating my nice cordless drill, and without having to buy a variable-speed corded drill which I don't otherwise need. It seemed to work okay when I did my first batch with the new mill, but I don't have much to compare it to yet either.Yuri_Rage said:I've run it as fast as 2,000. Honestly, I don't see much of a difference in crush regardless of speed.
