Hey just got a new Barley Crusher grain mill for Christmas, pretty stoked. More control and tightening up my process. One question I came up with pretty quickly was: do you crush solo or have someone help? I'm assuming most go solo and I just wanted to make sure I understood how. I was under the impression that pouring the grain in before starting the rollers was a no-no. True? If so, how do you manage to get the rollers going with one hand on the drill, and pour in 10+ lbs of grain with the other? Maybe I'm just uncoordinated, lol. Anyway, thank goodness for my assistant brewer (14 year old daughter).
Good news is that out of the box I got about 7% higher efficiency
