I'm after a grain mill
My old grain mill doesn't work very well and I am looking for a replacement. I want a grain mill that works well crushing to 0.8mm on the first crush, and one that is robust and will last a very long time.
If anyone has any recommendations I'd be grateful. I was looking at the 3 roller mill that The Malt Miller have in stock, does anyone own one of these and how do you rate them please?

Re: I'm after a grain mill
I have used the the MM two roller version for about 18 months(used once a month) and it produces a first time fairly consistent crush at .9mm.( with a slow drill speed). No issues so far, seems well made.

I use the MM three roller mill. It's the only mill i've used, so i can't compare it to others, but so far it works well and has a consistent crush.

Re: I'm after a grain mill
i was wondering what the op jim my problems were. so that he want a new mill.
i got a cheap mill 2 roller from china, the only prob i had was the mill roller adjustment slipped, but once i reground the adjustment bolts to a point rather from being flat ended ive had no problems with the rollers slipping and good crushing

Only issue I have had with mine is when I switched to using a drill the torque was too much for the finger tight roller bolts to keep the roller still - quick tweak with a adjustable spanner sorted that though.

Well, my mule has Laminitis, the kids have grown up and left home and my missus has athritis in both knees, so as you can imagine it takes her ages to crush 12kg of grainWonkydonkey wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2017 12:07 ami was wondering what the op jim my problems were. so that he want a new mill.

Re: I'm after a grain mill
I've been using the Brewferm mill for about 2 years, perhaps twice a month. It's been very good, but I have never owned another mill so can't compare. I crush very fine (0.7mm) after conditioning the malt and crush always seems very consistent (no whole berries), with nice whole husks after conditioning.

Malt Conditioning
Really worth doing in my opinion, the difference in crush (bigger, whole husks with finer flour) is remarkable, for very little extra effort. The intact husks really do improve the circulation of my HERMS.
