Shh... It's here.

[Die_Beerery]

I was granted the opportunity to do some testing on this. Stay tuned..

Is that a mill?

 

[grampamark]

I’ll bet that’s what was imagined when, about 20 or so years ago in Budweiser commercials, Hank Jr. sang “Somebody fax me a beer”.

 

[Die_Beerery]

Is that a mill?

No, its THE mill.

That's pretty awesome! Can't wait to hear more about your experiences

The design is very impressive indeed. Having a cogged belt driving both MASSIVE fluted rollers is one hella good start.
And SSB must be confident AF to pay for the tooling that produced that amazing extrusion. That ain't "Play Doh Fun Factory" stuff...

Cheers!

Man, that thread was a complete trainwreck.
A little warning next time!

Yea I checked it before that and was like yup..... new thread.

I am standing by for your updates!

Looks like minor changes since 2018 HomeBrewCon. This pic from elsewhere on the forum

Haha, we'll see how this one turns out. Here's some copy/paste from the SSB website (here):

I threw in a few lbs to get an idea. I started at zero. It was a little too fine. Went to +2 and it passed the visual test, until I get my sieves out and do the real testing. The tool less gap change is nothing short of magical.

 

[day_trippr]

That'll work nicely, but I don't see the $700 premium over a Cereal Killer for home brewing use...

Cheers!

Looks like a lovely machine, if I had one, I'd be sure to keep a spare belt on hand, as looks like the weak link critical part.

I'm sure a unit like this would be helpful to some, but can get decent quality crush with mill that costs a lot less and has less to maintain.

Post a vid please

 

[day_trippr]

Well, it's a review unit, so I expect he's going to put a video review out for us all.
Patience. It's not just for brewing

Cheers!

Testing? I thought it was out already. A friend of mine posted on Facebook that he got his on Monday... and right out of the box the power switch was broken. "I'll tell you from first hand experience that when your $800 grain mill shows up but doesn't work correctly you are not pleased."

 

[Die_Beerery]

Hot off the internet.

 

[jcav]

Thanks for taking the time to make the video and test it out!

John

 

[Die_Beerery]

Mod time.

 

[day_trippr]

Nice!

very interested.

 

[passedpawn]

Anyone notice the lack of SS bling, at least from an outward appearance? I realize the rollers etc are SS.

Not that I mind. Certainly, black is far easier to maintain that the shine.

 

[day_trippr]

I was more interested in its inner beauty
It's a seriously impressive machine, at a seriously impressive price for a home brewer...

Cheers!

yes, i'm a fan. I'll probably buy one after the holiday. I'm in the market for a new mill.

 

[day_trippr]

You've been a good boy this year I presume, so treat yourself

Cheers! (I'd use the money for airfare to a warm island right now)

I think what he probably meant is he gets to play with one for free?

 

[Jerz]

Nothing quite like being able to change the gap on the fly... sorry I missed this thread but I got mine in December and think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Cheers!

 

[bkboiler]

Good review thanks! Nice piece of engineering there for sure.
I would only list price as a con if the thing ends up being unreliable or having a short service life although that looks unlikely based on the initial quality.
