Hi folks
I was looking at getting a mill but the economics did not seem to work out for me. I brew 20L maybe twice a month. I looked into the savings per batch and for what a good mill would cost here in Copenhagen, the timeline for purchase cost recovery was laughable.
I think the real problem is that a MM3 with hopper here costs about 370USD, and if I buy a sack of grain my savings are 0.30USD per pound, when it costs about 0.80-1.00USD per pound.
Can some of you provide an idea of how big your grainbill is, and how much you estimate your savings (per pound or per batch)?
