I am in the process of making 4 new grain mills to sell; these are fully adjustable by adjusting the two screws at the front. I have been using one i made couple of years ago and its still going strong. The Two s/s knurled rollers are knurled with a straight knurl and are 50mm in diameter. If any are interested PM me for more information, price is $300.00 and comes with a drill adapter.


Mill components are
Aluminium base plate
Aluminium adjustable sideways with mounted bearings
Slide clamps
2 x 50mm s/s rollers both are driven via spar gears
s/s locking screws

If you need to have a look at some drawings please PM me with your E-Mail address.

Stagger Have you tested the straight knurl ?
 
yes i think it gives a better crush, i run around 85 - 90% all the time and never had one stuck sparge

Stagger
 
Neat one Stagga do you have a hopper ?
 
Nice work Stagger. Built like a brick dunny, just how we like em..

Out of curiosity what gap do you run on it and what rpm.

Borret
 
I have experimented a lot, the motor runs 1440 RPM and the gap is 1.2mm it give a fantastic crush for my setup

I am crushing at 0.7 theses days its gives better efficiency but hard work as I am doing double batches .

What HP is the motor ?

Pumpy
 
I do 45L it takes me probley 4 min to crush 8-9 KG, an have a efficiency between 85 - 90%. mor so now that i have started using a esky as a mash tun not sure how it would alter the efficiency but it has.

Stagger

sounds interesting... the only problem I have is that it's $300 I could be spending in my trip...
 
Well what can i say that's the price, i have spent the last 41/2 days making the last 2 so i am not making much, plus material.

As i have said this will last a life time.

maybe you should just use a rolling pin P&K - they're cheap :rolleyes:

or a hammer. they're pretty cheap too

Perfectly reasonable for a hand made mill in my opinion. I would grab one if I didn't already have the Barley Crusher.
 
if my a tradesman made it at work for a price @ 60 an hour it would cost you $1230 for labour plus material
 
I'm not saying it's a rip, I'm just saying it's a lot of money, which would pay for 6 days of my trip (by my budget, which will surely be broken)
