been looking at the Grain Gobbler from MoreBeer for $149. probably lots of opinions on here. I'm brewing 5-10 gallon batches. would like something I can put a drill on or another type of motor. thanks for all advice
Man, depending on how many people respond you will know less after asking that question then you knew before. Everyone seems to like whatever one they have. But I have a Crankenstein and I like it.

Absolutely LOVE me my Monster Mill MM-3
The Malt Mill hasn't been mentioned yet - I've been well-satisfied with mine. http://schmidling.com/maltmill.htm
thanks for all the opinions. Looking at the Monster Mill MM-3, but they also have a MM-2 2.0, and MM-3 2.0, which has larger diameter rollers. Would this be overkill or worth the extra $$$ ??

I kinda think the extra size rollers are overkill. Especially if you plan on motorizing. I certainly get enough torque to handle, well probably rocks would be crushed. I believe the increased size rollers provide the same crushing power with less torque... (anyone want to confirm this??)
I didn't think that stainless rollers were overkill though and got those... but I have a stainless problem and currently attend SA meetings for it.
FYI- Fred of Monster uses a 2 roller for himself. Not like he doesn't have the option...

Ah crappo, I got the hopper and base I could've sold you that I'm not using!!Thanks for all the feedback. just placed an order for a standard MM-3 with stainless rollers, and hopper/base. Look forward to using it over my Holiday break,and best of all I can buy my grain in bulk by the sack saving $$, since now I can mill it myself
3 roller monster mill is fantastic. My buddy bought a grain gobbler from Morebeer, every time I brew with him he requests me to bring my mill...the gobbler just isn't that great.
I have noticed with my 3 roller that I do not have to use rice hulls anymore, even in a wheat. Whether that it due to my 3 roller or not, it's worth mentioning. It completely seperates the husk for me.
Dang, I have a grain gobbler coming. I just upgraded and will start doing all grain and haven't gotten all my new gear yet. Should I return my grain gobbler before I use it? This could put my first AG batch off for a week or two, which will mean I'll be doing a couple extract batches in the meantime.
If I do send the grain gobbler back what should I get? How much is the 3 roller monster mill?

Good choice tho, that's the exact one I got. And I tellya, it's nice getting 50# sacks of 2-row for $33 each and storing it, as opposed to having to pay $1.75 per pound at my LHBS.
