Hello.

I'm on to all grain now, and I am tired of paying extra for crushed malt at my local store. What is the best option for me as far as buying a grain mill? I usually brew once every three weeks and I'm only doing a 5-6 gallon batch.

Thanks.

They charge extra to crush it? Fuck them.

The barley crusher mill is what I have and it's a nice option. The bigger question is what is your limit to spend. For a bit more the monster mill 2 is available and for a bit over that the monster mill 3. I have brew club friends that have both and I've actually seen the mm3 in action. All 3 are good choices and will probably be the only mill you'll buy in your homebrewing career.

+1, I was thinking the same thing.

My vote is for the Barley Crusher. It is reasonably affordable and pretty durable. The rollers can be adjusted if need be, and a larger hopper can be purchased although the regular size is just fine for me.

Here is a great deal on a mill I just saw. http://www.homebrewfinds.com/2012/11/ad ... m=facebook

Big fan of the crankandstein...
