Ordered a New Grain Mill

Post by Matt F »

My Crankandstein 2-roller mill I acquired in 2004 had its rollers toasted by a rock recently. I figure 15 years of service for under $100 is pretty good. So my email inbox had a special from More Beer today with a similar 3-roller mill on sale for $150 ($30 off) with easier gap adjustment and some other improvements including the hopper, and if ordered by 7/26/19 a free bamboo base. Seems like fate so I ordered.

The new SS Brewtech grain mill coming this fall looks really cool but at $799 no way!

At $799, it better grow the m-f-ing grain, harvest it, malt it, bag it and grind it for you! :shock:

Interesting. compact, enclosed motor, and super-easy gap adjustment. Not paying that price, but, certainly caters to those who are also willing to spend the cash for $4000 conical/chiller/etc setups.

Yeah, definitely geared towards the "pro-sumer" market. Nothing wrong with equipment built like the pros use it, just comes with a pretty price tag
