How, and how often to clean mill?

[CaptMogul]

I suggest brushing, vacuum, then set over clean bucket and rap several times with rubber mallet, you will suprised at what was left. I finish with compressed air

I blow it out with compressed air then use a stiff brush to remove stuck particals from the knurled rollers and then blow it all again to get all the floury dust out.

I never thought of this until yesterday, I could not get anything to go through my mill, after wetting the grain and blowing out the rollers I finally figured out the rollers were slick and coated with something, a simple wash with the sprayer fixed everything

Another leaf blower fan here -- I do it while running the mill so as to blow the dust off of the rollers.

You’re supposed to clean them?

Fun to see so much conversation! I am going to blow mine out with the air compressor next time it's used.

I just have a cheap Corona style mill for BIAB, but after each use I dust mine off with a clean brush, then blow it off with compressed air.

I clean my mill after every use using my shop vac.
I clean out he chute that feeds the grain into my bucket, the top grain hopper, & the rollers.
It cuts down on dust in my brew area as well.

After seeing the leaf blower post, I have a small shop blower that is a small leaf blower, that I will blow it off outside, before it goes back in the tote.

I've always used my air compressor, but after reading the leaf blower posts...may go to that. It would be a whole lot quicker and easier.
