Grain Mill Recommendations

[Konadog]

Anyone with the 3 Roller Mighty Mill willing to measure the minimum gap setting? The specs and markings go down to .025". For the money I'd like to go this route (even when not on sale) but my goal is to crush the s*&! out of the grain for BIAB AND use it for our 3VHERMS setup with a wider gap.

Considering stepping up to the 3 roller (non geared) Monster as it has a minimum gap of .00". Even the 2 roller is likely a step up from my Malt Mill.

Thanks



Edi to add:

Do you find the etched gap markings accurate? Would really like to easily change between gap settings.

I'm brewing this weekend so I'll try to remember to check for you. It crushes pretty fine IMO as I tried a few settings to find my sweet spot. Never really measured, just looked at the crush until I found what I wanted.

Had a few beers the other night and pulled the trigger on the 3 Roller Mighty Mill.

Showed up today. First impressions... Feels nice. Heavy duty. Rollers spin freely.

Tried measuring the gap which is tough due to the design. Bent up a bunch of my feeler gauges to get them into the gap. At first I thought the gap was inconsistent... thought I might be returning it. After messing around a bit I determined the gap IS consistent but the measured markings are a bit off. When set to the same marking the gap is pretty dang close measured on each side but not necessarily the same measurement as the markings. I'm OK with that.

It does seem to get close to .02 when set to the tightest gap (.025 on the adjustment markings) so that's cool. Will try to run some grain thru it this weekend and see what I get.

Sorry I didn't get you the info, my company was just "acquired" by a competitor and I haven't been thinking straight for weeks. Haven't brewed yet either, but may do that this weekend.

@Konadog No worries! Hope you get a chance to brew soon!

Anyone here care to share the gap settings they are using (according to the marks on the mill) and the type of brewing they are doing (BIAB, mash in a cooler, HERMS etc)?

I have been using a Hull Wrecker two roller with a Makita 6302 hand drill for the last year and a half.
I used a feeler gauge to adjust the rollers to .028" and use one pass milling - I am considering adjusting it to .025" just to see the results.
This seems to be working great for my BIAB mash.
