I really like my Barley Crusher

I have friends who have the Grain Gobbler and the Monster Mill. They all work great

+1 on the Barley Crusher.

I got the barley crusher from Northern Brewer.. and love it. I like that the rollers are adjustable on both ends, and my crush can be fine tuned right to where I want it. The 7# hopper is nice... I don't mind refilling it once or twice for a batch.

Here is the link, the one right at the top.

I never really deal hunted, but I was happy with what I got for the price.

I have a Phil Mill, circa 1996... It was ok when I was extract/specialty grain brewing, but I need something bigger for home milling. For now, I'm having my LHBS pre-crush my grain bill, which means I can't be as spontaneous as I used to be with on the fly recipes.

I'd like a Barley Crusher

I bought direct from Barley Crusher and only paid $114.50. Couldn't be happier with it!

Sweet! Thanks for the feedback, guys! I'll take a look at the barley crusher (straight from the manufacturer, of course)...

+1 for the BC for me too. I went with the 15lb hopper so that there's no need to refill for a regular strength 5 gallon batch. Also ordered straight from the manufacturer.
