I have a related question...

Our Local shop has a mill that you operate, you do everything...measure out your grains, mill it, bag it, then go up and pay for it. Overall its great because i get the whole process, obviously they have their rollers preset and dont let people adjust them.

But my question is this, when i go get my grains i typically throw everything into a bag, then dump the entire bag into the mill, specialty grains, flaked oats, dont care just throw the whole recipe in and turn the mill on.
Is this wrong? Should i mill my 2 row by itself, then specialty grains? Or does it not really matter? I seem to be getting a decent ~68-71% efficiency...although im always looking to improve if its as simple a fix as seperate millings.

Anyone? Interested in hearing, as i am going to go get grains for another batch in a few days.

At my LHBW I run the grain mill myself. In the begining the crush was incomplete so I ran them through twice. Then apaprently they adjusted the gap and now I get a perfect crush once through. If your LHBW runs them mill and they don't know what a good crush looks like I think its time to get a new LHBW or buy online.

I don't see a problem with this, I mean all the grains are going in the mash anyway, correct?

I'm not sure that the flaked grains need to be crushed. I would be interested in what someone with more experience has to say about crushing flaked grains. Is that necessary?

I have a Barley Crusher and don't have a picture but my grain looks like HERMSman when crushed.

Im not worried about the flaked grains getting crushed, im not trying to crush them...dont worry about that I just wasnt sure if having the other smaller grains and flaked grains could somehow affect the crush of the 2 row...like oats getting in and letting my 2 row slide through unharmed, etc.

I love my $20 corona mill and grinding the grain really doesn't take that long. I get a perfect balance of fine crush and what I would call medium crush and it's super easy to adjust on the fly. I've only had 1 sparge that was close to being stuck, but I blame the 1/2lb of flaked oats for that.
