Malt Mill

Great deal on this little bucket top mill. Its a 2 roller mill, and has so far ground over 100 pounds of grain for my brew days. Take your time when setting it up, use a feeler gauge to set your rollers - I have mine set at .030" for BIAB and it works perfectly. With a cordless drill running at about 3/4 speed, I grind 10ish pounds of grain in less than a minute. I feel like people who are having issues are running flaked grain though it, which will definitely get stuck and cause problems. Don't run flaked corn thru it. It goes together quickly, and it holds up. As long as you don't expect this to be an industrial strength design, you'll be happy with it.

I've been using this mill for about a month now, milled about 50 pounds of 2 row and the likes. Had some problems to start with, but ended up being user error. To tight of gap and running the drill to fast. To start with the assembly isn't to bad. Remove the blue film to start. A Phillips screw driver and a wrench or pair of pliers are about all you need. Assemble the cone then mount it to the grinder. I mounted mine to a 5 gallon bucket lid. Be sure to check all of the nut bolts and screws and make sure there tight. Setting the gap is probably the hardest part. I used a credit card to start with which is about .030 of an inch did a small test run then increased the gap to .045 inches. Make sure to keep the rollers parallel to each other and recheck your gap after your tighten the locking bolts. I didn't find the little marks for the width of gap to be even close to accurate or even in the ballpark. A feeler gage works best for this. Good investment makes this part easier. I use my cordless drill set on the low speed. Keep the rpms slow. You want the drill to turn about as fast as if you were using the hand crank. If the speed is to high the grain will stop feeding. Overall I am very satisfied with everything about this mill. It does an excellent job of mill my grain. The price is very good. Shipping was timely. The seller Brewhouse168 are fantastic to work with, if you have a question or having a problem just contact them. They will get right back to you, great support.

I can't commend this enough! Bought it to reduce chick crumble that was too big for my quail. Worked perfectly. Better than I imagined. Very high quality. When I saw the small holes in the hopper I imagined a fight. Having to drill new holes. Not so. Perfect alignment. I thought this must have been made in US. Nope, China. I am so used to crappy Chinese QC I couldn't believe it. Highly recommend!

At first I was a little hesitant to buy what is quite clearly a foreign made, no name, grain mill. It's obvious by the bad sentence structure on the label that this thing is probably Chinese. I figured that I would have to adjust the holes in the hopper to fit, but, this thing really surprised me. I've been a home brewer for many years, I built my first grain mill out of a pasta roller and I used the hell out of it until it finally had seen it's last brew day. So, on to Amazon I go and I find this for just over $100.00, it looks exactly like the Barley Crusher but under a different name. I imagined if there were any issues I could make it work for long enough to find a better version in the classified ad sections on some forums, but, wow am I impressed with this thing! There was one minor hiccup when we went to mill the grain for our brew day today, whoever assembled it at the factory put the drive roller in backwards. When we went to mill the grain, we hit the trigger on the drill and the screwed-in drive shaft spun out, so, evaluating the situation I discovered that the drive roller was backwards, easy fix. So I grabbed a screw driver and pliers and quickly undid the screws, flipped the drive roller around to be oriented the other way, and re-assembled. Less than 10 minutes to do it. Back outside we go and dump the grain back in the hopper, this time when we hit the trigger it was quite apparent that this thing was ripping through the grain. I typically run it through twice, once at .050" and then again at .025". I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised by the speed this mill chewed through my 20.5lb grain bill. It was easily under 10 minutes to run all the grain through twice. I don't think I'll be planning to upgrade grain mills any time soon. I wish I would have had this a long time ago, would have made so many brew days much much faster. If you need an inexpensive mill to do a very adequate job, this is the one to buy.

This is a solid piece of brewing equipment that any serious homebrewer should own. It was easy to assemble, seems like good construction with quality steel rollers, and was a bit less expensive than other comparable options. Adjusting the crush size from 1” to o.25” is a breeze. Did a fantastic job on my first batch last weekend and I’m looking forward to the next one!

Just put together and used this mill for a batch of homebrew. It worked reasonably will with the mill gap in the middle of the range. I had some difficulty putting this together because some of the screws were very poor quality - the screw rounded out and crumbled using a philips head driver. There was some room for a flathead to fit, and with care I was able to get the mill assembled. Including some stainless steel hardware can't ding the profit margin that much, can it? The only other very minor point is that the gap adjustment feels very loose, almost like a particularly hard piece of malt could open the gap in the middle of the crush. That didn't happen though, the crush was just fine. On the plus side, there weren't any fitting issues - every hole lines up fine and once assembled looks very nice. On the whole, I'm happy with this mill.

Does what it is supposed to, easy to assemble and use my drill at a lower speed to quicken the grain milling process. Used it for the first time yesterday and worked great for my brew day, and a more cost effective option than others. Works just as well as others I have used with friends on brew days.

Some assembly required but otherwise it works. Had to use some metal tape on the inside to keep grain from fall through whole.

Works as described. We purchased it for crushing corn, for chicken feed, and it does a decent job. Worth the purchase, after looking at many other options, and other products. Pleased with this product.

J’entend beaucoup de personne se plaindre de leur moulin de basse qualité . Mais avec celui la , vous ne vous tromper pas , fonctionne super bien et rapide avec une perceuse. Bonne qualité et facile a assembler.

Facile à monter, facile à ajuster et facile à utiliser avec ma drill dewalt !
