After about 200 ten gallon batches, my PhilMill I finally bit the dust.
Two tons of grain I figure have gone past that little tiny roller. The knurling still looks as good as new too.
Thank goodness this was on the last 3 lbs of my annual summer 2bbl run and not the first 3 lbs. I actually tried crushing some with the side of a beer bottle like I used to do and remembered why I stopped doing that!
At least now I have a few months to shop around and find my mill for the next ten years. Don't worry, I'm not going to ask which one to get. I know everyone loves the mill they have, and they all do the job perfectly well.
