Malt mill suggestions please

[Bogdweller]

Hi
I'm looking at moving on to milling my own malt and looking for recommendations for a decent malt mill supplier. It would need to be able to adjust the size of the crush and not neccesarily break the bank although i do know you do get what you pay for!

I bought a barleycrusher about 15 years ago. It's still going strong

I have this one

does a great job. Set the gap at 1.2mm using these Draper Feeler Gauge Metric | Toolstation

How do you set it to 1.2mm when that tool goes up to 0.8mm?

Here’s a clue - what does 0.50 + 0.40 + 0.30 equal?

I can vouch for the Grainfather malt mill, so easy to use, on offer with a free sack of malt at the MM:

I have a cheap version of the malt miller manual style. Mine didn't come with a mounting board so sits on top of a very large old panettone tin. would be nicer if it was properly attached to something. Also If you adjust the rollers to a very fine crush it's a lot more physical effort. Still what else you gonna do as your water heats up. It's lasted years without any issues.

If you can detach the handle, you can attach a power drill instead. That's what I did with my barley crusher. Much easier than physical exertion

Just bought one - looking forward to using it in anger when I finish my current grain sack.
