both craftbrewer and mashmaster now charge $500 bucks for a f%^{:content:}amp;&&& mill??

WTF

now is your time Beerbelly and G&G to move in on the competition?

Anyone who sells this mill will charge the same as the price is set by the manufacturer (which could be mashmaster themselves? just a guess).

I've looked at the mills G&G sell and while I have been a happy customer of theirs, and will be again, the mill they sell looks a POS compared to the Millmaster. In fact, I'm in the market for a mill myself right now and if you look at G&G's barley crusher for $280 the Millmaster starts to look more affordable (not so affordable that I can actually afford one mind you).

I hear can openers are very cost effective.

brewer lettuce is low......i do have one of those Good mills but Shit HBrewing stuff is getting more and more expensive...i hope it doesnt limit the flow of HB aficionadoZ becoming one day great head brewers providing competition for the big boys?

BYB now that i am working as an assistant brewer, it doesnt phase me either - more insperation for the local bloke to crush grain for free i say. Hope all is well anyway mate.

Self promotion is the sincerest form of self flattery. Otherwise known as wankery.

The upside to the current cost would now make my mill still worth what I paid for it, that is should i ever want to sell it. The add on gear guard I bought was a great addition.

There are more important things in this life than cracking a grain of barley.
I wish you all luck in your life.

mills should be cheaper homebrewers, find your local supplier thats offers millling for nicks, and do it. No moe comment.

 

[bradsbrew]

Apparently there will be a cheaper version being produced. Also the price difference of buying bulk grain and buy milled by the batch size would pay for a mill eventually.

Hardly worth replying to, but what the hell....

homebrewing is about making great beer cheaply, what are these well established companies thinking by making this practice exclusive to home brewers with money to waste i dont know...

We offer an entry level mill at $139 & a top end mill for $499 - Both good value IMO - How are we making anything exclusive?

boycott them and get your grain milled for free by your local home brew supplier i say!

We mill grain for free & we are the local home brew store to many

money grabbin bastards

Not money grabbing, but I guess a ******* at times

p.s. how much beer would you need to produce to offset the investment of a mill offered by these leeches - look abroad.

Plenty of mill options home & abroad - Buy the model thay suits your requirements & budget best

Skippy,

If you are getting your grain milled at your LHBS, I would imagine that you are also buying it from them each visit, paying the "per kilo" price. Therefore you are probably paying about twice as much as if you were buying it by the sack.
Ive just bought a millmaster (got in at $369, but would have paid $500). Now I can buy my grain in bulk and pay roughly half the price I was paying buying at the kg or 5kg rate. So to answer your question, it will take me around 6 months to offset my investment. Not to mention the time and petrol it will save me in visits to the LHBS.

As someone has already mentioned, these guys are in business to make money, they are not a charity. You may find this topic of some interest http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum//ind...showtopic=43570 It might make you rethink your "money grabbin bastards" comment.

Want some cheese to go with that WHINE.... ffs
IMO, the soul purpose of HB'ing is a decent hobbie in which we can craft what we consider to be ultimate beers.
The costs involved wether it be grains/hops/yeasts/mills/brewery equip/ etc are of course going to hurt the wallet to a point, like any recreation. Having reliable gear is paramount with any hobbie i reckon.
Jumping on here having a whinge about the retailers apparently being money hungry is just plain arrogant, and if you cant afford it, learn to save.
As stated their are plenty of other options to reduce the costs, you dont need to rush out and cough up huge dough.
Its about finding a happy medium that suits style and budget.
Also, the fact that certain retailers mill the grains for free upon purchase is a great effort, and saves the HB'er a fair amount of work by doing so.
