Yesterday, I milled 16lbs of 2-row in my rather cold garage. The mill (a cereal killer) was pretty cold, and the grain was 55 degrees. I had it set at .035. The result was pulverized grain. Very little noticeable grain husks. About half way through the milling, I noticed the results, and widened the gap to about .045. The result was some of the grain was just falling through the gap and not getting properly crushed. Didn't get a stuck sparge, but I think since I widened the gap to get more husks, I didn't get the efficiency I needed.
So my question is, does cold equipment & grain often result in a very "powdery" crush, or does my mill just need to be replaced?
Any other thoughts or ideas?
