I got tired of dealing with the local HBS. They have a nice selection at their store, but the proprietors have the personality of a rotting lump of hamburger. I got tired of being treated like shit when I spend my money. Sooo…I purchased a Barley Crusher grain mill. This thing runs sweet. I filled the hopper with Maris Otter and started cranking.. after about a minute I hooked up the drill.
I crushed 8 lbs of MO in less than 2 minutes. It would have been faster if I had hooked up the drill to begin with. I did not make any adjustments to the gap setting on the crusher. the roller gap is still set to .039 in/1mm. The crush came out much better than I have ever used before. I can’t wait to brew on Saturday.
