The differences look to be this,
The Original Barley Crusher MaltMill, "Home Brewer's Best Friend"
has proven to be just that. A high quality grain mill constructed using
materials that will last a lifetime, 1018 Cold Rolled Steel for the
rollers, 6061 Aluminum for the mill body and hopper, tool steel for the
axles with Oil Impregnated bronze bushings.
Precision machining with Quality Control and a LifeTime Warranty
assures the homebrewer this will be the only mill ever purchased.
(note: 1 1/4 dia. X 5 in. rollers)
7lb Hopper
The vally:
The Valley Mill's generous 6 lb. capacity hopper and crushed between two textured steel rollers. An ergonomic hand-crank makes for effortless crushing.
The included power drill adapter allows the homebrewer to crush large quantities of malt at high-speed (up to 10 lbs. per minute). For a more permanent set-up, a standard V-belt pulley can be easily installed on the mill's standardized 1/2" drive shaft.
The Valley Mill uses two, 8" long, nickel-plated, ball-bearing mounted, steel rollers. One roller is a driver, while the other is an adjustable, passive idler roller eliminating the need for gears. The space between the rollers is easily adjusted by pulling out and turning the large spring-loaded, self-locking indexing knob. The adjustment is variable from approximately .010" to .070" in seven increments. The increments are non-linear, allowing for finer adjustments in the smaller, more commonly used range while still allowing adjustment in the upper range.
Sounds like the vally has bigger rollers, hence quicker, (is this really important for a 22Lt batch brewer)
BC holds slightly more in the hopper and can also be driven via drill as is(no attatment needed)
Using a 3/8 drillmotor at 500 RPM
gives you a crush rate of 6 pounds a minute making the big grain bills
fast and easy.
Ahhhh i dont know, maybe the vally but upto 9 weeks freight is a pain!
