Interesting.

Interesting indeed. Diamonds may be forever, the question is; how good is the bonding of the diamond to the metal roller? As someone who uses diamond blades fairly regularly, I can attest the bonding quality varies. Still, it is not a bad price, if well made.

i just saw a thread, where someone asked if you remember the phil mill...for some reason the "not included" chopped up 5 gallon carboy reminded me of my old phil mill....and the short rollers too, lol

$230 and no hopper or mounting base. For a little less one could buy two Cereal Killers, which come with a base and a hopper, and set one for barley and one for wheat and be set for the rest of one’s brewing life. Just sayin’.

IDK, the MB mill is completely different than a Cereal Killer.

They’re both roller mills. They both crush grain. As the owner of a CK the MB doesn’t offer anything to me which would justify its asking price.

Also no power supply. That's a $75 add-on.

I do believe things are getting established/setup up. I agree $75 for an AC power source is a bit much.

fwiw, there's a thread on this mill from when it was only available in Kegland. Iirc there were linked reviews as well...

[edit] Found it...
