If you really want to crush your grain in style, here is how we did it with my old club.

That's the big question. While not as good of a mill as the previous options, you can usually find a corona mill for dirt cheap. With a little tinkering, practice & watching the mill output, they can work surprisingly well. They're just difficult to get a decent crush & to hold the gap there. If time is more plentiful than money, it's a good route to go. I've milled hundreds of batches through mine.

The mill in the video I liked will set you back a pretty penny... or 130,000 pretty pennies.
