Best option for a Grain Mill?

Post by BigEasy » Thu Sep 22, 2016 2:48 pm

Just wondering what other brewers do for Grain Mills. What is the best option and cost for a Grain Mill? Do we have any users that have DIY ones?

One of the barley crusher knock-offs should be fine and will be one of your cheapest options. I started with a barley crusher but have since switched to a monster mill.. I'm happy I did.

I've had the Barley Crusher for over four years - no complaints here.

I've had a barley crusher for five or six years maybe? I can't remember. It's starting to have some issues though, so I may be taking advantage of the lifetime warranty in the next bit.

Lifetime Warrenty you say?? Didn't realize there was one. I may have to take advantage of that myself, if I can find it.

I bought an OBKrusher first...it had issues.

I then bought a Monster Mill and wish I would have bought it first.

I picked up a Barley Crusher on a Black Friday sale last year. I'm happy with it!

Crankandstein 3D all the way. I have had mine for 6 years now and never had any issues.
