After putting together I loaded her up and hooked up my cordless drill and have her a spin! The mill worked great!!! Nothing better than fresh product!😁

This is my 3rd mill. The first 2 were the cheaper with 2 aluminum rollers. I brew with a Grainfather, and it's pretty sensitive to grain crush. Too fine and you don't get a good circulation. Too coarse and you get poor efficiency. At the factory setting this mill is perfect. The husk is left in tact, and the endosperm is cracked and exposed. I'm getting great performance on my Grainfather with this mill. The hopper holds a lot, and the mill is easy to crank. I hand crank my grain since I'm only doing 5 gallon batches. This mill is less tiring than the 2 roller mills. The ball bearings make it easy to crank. It is heavy, sturdy, and the steel base is really nice. Just rest it on a bucket and you're good to go. I can hand crank 10 or 11 pounds of grain in about 5 minutes. It takes longer to go to the garage and get a drill. I think this is better than the Monster Mill because of the ball bearings. The only difficulty is adjusting the gap. I've not done it yet, but I like to use a feeler gauge when I do. I don't know how I could use a feeler gauge when adjusting these due to the way the rollers are situated in the frame. Great mill overall!

I've owned Barley Crusher and recently a Cereal Killer mills. Both are 2 roller mills with smaller diameter aluminum rollers. I bought this mill because the Cereal Killer was tearing up the grain husks and I was getting slow sparges and almost stuck mashes on my Grainfather (which is pretty sensitive to grain crush). The crush with the mill is really good. The grain is crushed but the husks are in tact for the most part. I get better sparging and my recirculating mashes circulate through the grain very well and the efficiency hasn't changed. This mill weighs quite a bit more than the Cereal Killer due to the steel rollers, and the thick, steel base. I used the adjustment out of the box which works well. Adjusting the gap on this looks like it could be difficult. Also, I use the old hand crank method and it's quicker and easier than the Cereal Killer. The steel base is nice and thick and provides a good framework for the mill. It works well over a bucket if you hold it down while you're milling. The hopper took a little while to put together, but not a big deal. I got a good price on it too, so it was a good purchase.

Arrived quickly. Semi-easy to assemble. Works perfectly. Went thru 25 pounds of grain in less than 2 minutes. Looks like and works like Monster Mill. Probably the same factory, different name? Over $100 cheaper. I recommend this.
