Meaning there isn't a slave roller. I am so done with the slave roller not drawing grain in between the rollers when I go to Maris, etc.
Anyone?
Anyone?
there are two:
Malt Mill with gear option

Mash Master MiniMill

I'm in the same boat as you, tired of tinkering with my mill each and every time. I'm leaning toward the mashmaster, it looks like a well engineered setup and made to take a motor.
You are most likely getting rocks in there, every time I use MO I will have to dig rocks out of the mill rollers, just a quick fix, but a pain in the A$$ none the less, just a heads up in case you didnt know what was causing the problem, it took me a while to figure it out, good luck.
I have a Shmidling (aka JSP aka Malt Mill) and it's a workhorse. I bought it used from a VERY active LHBS in Tampa, so it got a LOT of use there. I've run about 1,000,000 pounds of grain through it. It has never faultered or given me a reason to mess with it. Just wow.
It only has one driven roller; the other is passive. I think Schmidling makes one that is geared between the rollers, but I can't imagine what that would accomplish after the years of success with this model.
A million pounds of grain? That's ~100,000 5 gallon batches (admittedly lower OG batches, but...). How long have you been brewing, and what size batches?
About 10 years.
I brew 5,000g batches. Yep, my consumption did increase when I started kegging.

I have to assume you're joking.

If you do a quick reread of his original post you would see hes talking about the volume of the LHBS that he brought the used mill from.
Maybe he worked at the LHBS he bought the mill from. Boo yaaaa
