SS brewtech grain mill belt

[RCope]

I've been using my SS brewtech grain mill for about 5 1/2 years. It was/is rock solid. Until last Saturday when the drive belt broke. I brew about 40 times per year, it takes 7 mins to mill my average of 13lbs of grain. That's about 25 hours of use (if my math is right). So this is basically a public service announcement...buy a back up belt if you don't want to be stuck using your old, crappy Barley Crusher that won't mill fine unless you double or even triple crush since it won't grab the grain.

I was a bit disappointed that they didn't offer just to send me a couple, but they did reply and make it easy to buy them for $10 each plus shipping. I understand that a drive belt is a potential wear item, but they advertise it as suitable for a Nano brewery, so I'd expect it to last more than 25 hours...Cheers!

A frustrated nano brewery is still a nano brewery.
