Grain Mill Options

[Mitternacht Brauer]

mine are 50mm rollers the only problem I have is the idle roller sometimes stops so I just give it a spin & away I go

But I am still doing other stuff just hear the noise now & again at least once a crush especially with wheat malt with just ale & crystal malt usually no probs

I built my mill and only drive 1 roller. I put 2 small channels in the second roller and run "O"rings in them.It still allows for adjustment of the gap and keeps both rollers going.

The option I went for was a 2 roller monster mill and hand crank. Motorising seemed unnecessary as I can crush 5 kgs of grain in about 2-3 minutes by hand.

I got a local handyperson to mount it on a base and build a hopper. Pretty awesome bling if you ask me. Total cost $400, so not cheap but has crushed about 750kgs of grain with no problems at all.

Hey,

I have just ordered the Monster Mill 3 roller with Hopper and Base. After tossing up
1. a 2 roller
2. going stainless
3. getting 2 mills sent and splitting the postage with some one close by (which would exclude the base and hopper)

I decided

1. I was not going to die wondering if a three roller really could have been better. Currently BIAB'ing (fine crush) and love wheat beers (hard to crush)
2. decided it wasn't worth it, for the price of this upgrade it was approaching a 2" roller, which possibly was worth the extra.
3. this way, with base and hopper, the mill is ready to go, just add drill. For the extra cost of postage for one mill, without finding a friend, it made more sense (to me) to get the base and hopper sent, before the dollar dropped again.

All told the price was $280 dollars delivered.

Pretty pricey for a mill, but if the quality is there, I am happy.

Cheers

I got the same very recently (also the handle) and I am very happy with it. It is ready to go without worrying about manufacturing a hopper and base. Paid about the same a few months ago. Great value.
