LF: Grain Mill

[Maritimer]

probably going to buy an imitation barley crusher from ihomebrewing.ca ($119.99) but I want to check here first.
Anyone have a grain mill for sale or know of an inexpensive source?

I almost bought that mill a while back. It's the Cereal Killer mill and the reviews I read were poor so I decided not to get it.

We've done a couple of group buys for the Crankandstein mills here and they are solid and roughly the same price.

I think i bought my barley crusher from noble grape for $149.

$109 from the Beersmith Website. I can't remember if I bought mine there or from hop dawgs.

yeh crankandstein mills came out 100-120 including tax n shipping, but no hopper. Dont remember exact cost.

$51 for shipping might as well buy it local.

check our supplier thread, there's Canadian options IIRC.

Beergrains.com sells Crankandstein:

albeit for more than buying direct. They also sell the hopper/base kit if you don't want to make one on your own. I'm very happy with my 2S mill. It's worked great for me so far.

[Maritimer]

the crankenstien 2S model looks appealing, 116.95 shipped from the US. Was there any issue/cost at the border?

[CorneliusAlphonse]

We ordered a half dozen, so he chucked in the 1/2" drive for free as long as everyone got the 2s
Edit: dont remember if we got 2s or 2a, whichever is adjustable

A Group Buy may be in order.

I may be convinced. I still find it hard to beleave a roller mill is over $100. But I may be tempted.

Sandy,
I'd be into a group buy, asap considering grain is on the way.
I am a little green around here and lack the credit resources to front funds for several mills.
I'll post it up in the group buy section and see where it goes.

I have the iHomebrewing mill bolted to a bench with a hole in the bottom and power it with my 18V cordless drill. It works like a charm.

We got the 1/2" driveshaft upgrade and only ordered 5 in the end IIRC. We did have to get middle of the road mill. I'm pretty sure he'd do the same deal

[Maritimer]

Thanks for the input everyone, I think I'm going to go with the crankenstien 2D from beer grain supply , http://beergrains.com/store/#!/~/produc ... d=16790691

It's a bit more than factory direct but it will arrive faster and it keeps my money in Canada. The 10% discount and free shipping is hard to argue with.

[bluenose]

you're not too far off price-wise, you won't regret it

[Araxi]

I know that E&L carry them now here in Moncton, I'm pretty sure they were 139.

[Tony L]

I got mine in a bulk buy through the MoB and I think it was $125 shipped to me ( Barley Crusher ) and I motorized it.

direct drive, wow. Do you control the motor speed?
