Hows my crush?

[Enf0rc3r]

As I make my first venture into all grain, how's my corona mill crush looking?

 

[FourSeasonAngler]

Does not look good.

 

[Enf0rc3r]

Thanks for the insight. Why not?

Tighter my friend. Should be no whole grains and you have tons of whole grains.

Mind you with a corona mill the first bit you grind will have whole grains until the auger gets the grain pushed up into the plates and the last bit will have a few whole grains for the same reason. I start crushing the grain and after I have a cup or so ground put a piece of typing paper under it to catch the middle of the grind and judge form that bit.

Thanks. I started finer but then I thought it was too floury. I will tighten it back up

You need flour and cracked grain with husk, when you got uncracked grain isnt enough tight

Go to the auto parts store and get a gap feeler tool

Set the mill to .035-.039 ( somewhat close to a credit card) and set the gap at each end of the rollers
