Just went all over the internet looking at Mills and by accident came by yours.... lol 😂 that's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks bud !!! 👍🏼

So happy for you. I remember getting my grain mill... yeah my shop would mill it for me, but I always liked being able to order a 25 kilo bag and mill as I brewed. Hope the kiddos are getting better. Rock on, dude!

I added a Worm Gear 15:1 63C Speed Reducer Gearbox to my 2 roller malt mill - to enable the electric drill to run the mill. The gear box was $25 when I purchased it in Jan 2021, but the price is now $50. I had to drill holes mill crank shaft and gearbox output to couple using a piece of aluminium tube and bolts. The units need to shimmed to align the rotating shafts...

Thanks for the video Jesse,interesting as always.I wanted to let you know that my canned corn and liquid mystique smoke run turned out very good,the best I have done so far,looking forward to tweaking it some,I put some on oak and it's getting better by the week,nice sipper,if you can get canned corn and some sort of liquid smoke where you are you are it's worth trying.

Super informative, thanks for the content!

Some good time-saving and idea tips. Cheers!

RYOBI!!!! Love that looking over the edge to keep your eyes safe?

Nice having a new tool in the shed. :)

Great diy for hobby distiller love the idea

Ughhhh...I was almost set on a DIY mill, but you & Hombrew4Life have convinced me. Gotta break down and buy one.

I finally bought one, wanted one for a long time. I have a traditional crank grinder, but it's throws stuff everywhere even with a shield.

New toy in the shed! Awesome dude:-)>

Nice! Automating is always the next step. Ran my grain mill (Millars Mills 2 roller Barley crusher) for a couple years with a drill. Then decided to upgrade... Found an old 1725 rpm table saw motor at the shop and hooked it up with a lovejoy (1/2" to 3/4") to a 40 to 1 gear reduction box from an old overhead door operator. Then had that gearbox connected with a pulley and belt to the mill... which always slipped after 1/2 hour of use. :( Even after adding a idler pulley to it.... So last fall, I reconfigured the gearbox and mill connection setup. Ditched the pulleys and belt. And made it a direct drive to the mill with another lovejoy gear (1" to 3/8ths). Works like a charm! Final speed: 43 rpm which is just about how fast one could crank by hand. I should record a video of it running.... It's slow and LOUD but crushes real nice!

i have one 12 years now.. it came with no screws... still has the computer MOBO screws i put in it. works just like it did when i got it.

Love your videos

i have the triple roller of the same or similar design and i have not looked back for my all grain. one of my bet purchases yet. i needed a 13mm chuck drill for mine.

Random question - in the absence of a grain mill could I use a blender? Cut vs crushed grain, any difference? Potentially larger surface area if reduced towards flower, or would this work against the process of extracting the maximum complex carbs from the grain?

Nice, i used a spice grinder and wasnt very fine

Looks awesome! Hey for the price it is a great deal. Here in the U.S. these run about $98 or so. You can spend $150 or so and it will have an electric motor attached. :-) Also healing thoughts and blessings to the twins and mom from the U.S.. :-)

Great video! Thank you! At about 9:20 you started to talk about how you are no carpenter. I have to tell you, as a farmer, you are indeed a carpenter. We all use many of the same tools and techniques and we're not proud about it, but we get the job done!

Coming from a farmer, I'm not sure having gelatinized barley is better, nice dry barley cracks great. So when you're done malting make sure it's nice and dry. Great video man!

Hanging in there👍

Yes it floats my boat.

thats pretty cool man! would love to see some more recipes and maybe making the mash or even try make some mampoer (South African moonshine lol)

What part of Texas are you from?

You may want to condition the grain before milling. It tends to make the husk more durable during the crush and will increase your lautering efficiency. 2% water is the usual treatment.

does the grain muncher work with corn ??

Personally, I probably would mount the mill to the bucket lid. A couple bits of wood and you could set the lid on the fermenter. Also, the mill looks small enough to fit in the bucket. So that would add space savings.

if you do this again (realising this is an old video , if you make a cut out in the board from the edge all the way to the grinder so the drill can lay flat on the board you can just put a cable tie on the trigger and leave the drill rotate against the surface , hands free milling . hope i explained that ok.

Awesome video need better grain Mill

Hey Jesse wondering if you got a look at that site I sent you last time for a few ideas ..and I hope the boys are doing better ..keep up the good work

Being a bourbon hound, I grind a lot of corn. Will your new roller mill do corn?

Btw they don't like corn. I tried when I was making bourbon. they work great for most grains though.

If the toung isn't out you're not doing it right 🤣🍻

I bought a very high-quality attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer that will do everything from crack grain to make flour. It cost about $75. What is the optimum size for fermenting? Powered by your KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Fits all Household KitchenAid Stand Mixers. Easily grind Low-Moisture Grains such as fresh wheat, corn, oats, rye, rice & buckwheat. 12 Grind Levels that range from a very coarse "cracked" texture to a fine grind. This all-metal attachment grinds wheat, oats, corn, rice, and other low-moisture, low-oil grains. Using freshly milled grains brings a hearty taste and texture to your baked goods. When you bake with home ground flour you will get all of the good you could possible get from a grain. Choose from 'cracked' to extra-fine consistency. Includes a cleaning brush.

And if you are going to use the Grain Mill with the drill you need to pick the grandma up just a little higher so they're Drew had don't rotate on your bored

I've found a food processor or blender works really well to mill your grain

You look so young way back here. :P

I know I've asked you this before, but I never did get an answer. Let's say you make a 100L batch of mash at 15% ABV. Therefore, at the end you could, in theory, have 15 L of distillate @ 100% ABV. In reality, however, you're going to end up with a lot more than 15L at a lower ABV. I know it's dependent on the length of time the still runs, and at what temperature. Let's say that you run your pot still really slow. In the end, how much good consumable product would you estimate comes from a 100L mash that has been diluted to 40% ABV? Thanks. Jim.

Should paint the edges of opening you cut in the board. Prevents pieces of the particle board ending up in your crushed grain. Do you always laugh at yourself? Eh-eh!

Works well with maize too. 300 rpm. I use a credit card to set gap. I changed the screws on the hopper to nuts and bolts for tightness

LA Kings fan?

Dude, spanner...

You look drunk af ...lol
