Grain Mill Rec's

Fri Nov 21, 2014 8:05 am

I am sure this has been covered, but with the holidays coming up, I am looking to replace my JSP MaltMill. I donated it to a good friend when I moved so he'd have one. I am leaning towards the 2-roller MonsterMill. I anticipate brewing around once a month, 10 gallon all-grain batches. I see that NB has MonsterMills and MonsterBrewingHardware has some newer ones.

Thanks!

I'm basically in the same boat. Iv never had a mill but am tired of milling at the LHBS. Iv been eyeballing the monster mill 2 roller also. Not sure I can justify the cost of 3 roller when it will get used on average 2 times a month (if I get to brew as often as I like.

Di you have issues with the JSP? I have had mine for 7 years and it's been flawless.

I have owned and used a Crankandstein 3D for some years. It's a great mill, it holds its settings, and there have been no issues. The down side is that you have to build your own base and hopper (not really a big thing if you have access to woodworking tools and a sheet metal brake).

At GRB we used a 2-roller Monster mill for pilot batches. I love the hopper (wish I had one like it for me 3-D) but it was unreliable at holding its settings. Might have just been our mill, but it liked to slip settings in the middle of a run, and (if you were lucky enough to catch it) you had to do the whole thing over again.
