To date I have been buying grain pre-cracked and as a result have had little control over that side of my mash efficiency.
I recently bought a 25kg bag of Marris Otter that was milled much finer than my usual bags of grain and I achieved a significant gain in mash efficiency (recipe was written at 60%, over several brews, figured out I was getting at least 65% with this bag).
Given that I brew almost every week (23L brews) and can't always rely on getting to the LHBG's mill all the time, I should invest in a decent mill. But which one?
I've read a fair bit on various sites and done some searches on here, but find a lot of conflicting and confusing information as well as dated information. My LHBG sells the Maltmuncher 2 and 3 roller mills (and I have store credit, so that's handy), but are they any good? If they are, do I want 2 or 3 rollers?
I would also be looking to invest in a motor to drive it.
Understand this has probably been covered to death on another part of the forum, but if anyone could point me in the direction of a good discussion on this or offer informed opinion, it would be much appreciated.
