As long as there are no whole, unbroken kernels in it, that looks pretty decent!
Whole kernels won't be able to be converted or sugars extracted? Or do they give off flavors

Correct. Not even flavors or color, or very minimally.Whole kernels won't be able to be converted or sugars extracted? Or do they give off flavors
No, you're absolutely right. All those factors weigh in.Just to add some confusion...
Just to add some confusion... Whenever anyone says that a roller gap of "X" is ideal, they are at best describing what works best for them with their mill and their mash/lauter vessel(s). Here are some things that also have an impact on determining any "ideal" gap.
- Number of rollers
- Diameter of rollers
- Speed of Rollers
- Smoothness or Knurld-ness of rollers
- Type of grains being crushed
- Crushing Dry or Hydrated
- Mash/Lauter Tun Design/Process
- Average Credit Card Thickness <JK>
For most of us, this means finding the gap that helps us get reasonable efficiency and that doesn't create process problems (like stuck lauters).
Thanks for that! Is there a cheap/simple/mechanical way to rig up a tachometer? I hoped to find something on Amazon but so far no luck. Maybe there is something made for bicycles or something, I just don't know what to search for. I would hate to go to a digital tach, seems like overkill.
