Great deal on this little bucket top mill. Its a 2 roller mill, and has so far ground over 100 pounds of grain for my brew days. Take your time when setting it up, use a feeler gauge to set your rollers - I have mine set at .030" for BIAB and it works perfectly. With a cordless drill running at about 3/4 speed, I grind 10ish pounds of grain in less than a minute. I feel like people who are having issues are running flaked grain though it, which will definitely get stuck and cause problems. Don't run flaked corn thru it. It goes together quickly, and it holds up. As long as you don't expect this to be an industrial strength design, you'll be happy with it.

This is a solid piece of brewing equipment that any serious homebrewer should own. It was easy to assemble, seems like good construction with quality steel rollers, and was a bit less expensive than other comparable options. Adjusting the crush size from 1” to o.25” is a breeze. Did a fantastic job on my first batch last weekend and I’m looking forward to the next one!

I use the mill to grind grain for home brewing. It works well, was easy to assemble, is highly adjustable. Satisfied with the purchase.

I’ve milled 2 1-gallon homebrew batches with this at the lowest/finest setting 0.025mm and both came out great. I use the brew in a bag biab method and got great mash efficiency results in RO water with gypsum and calcium chloride. Great value for the money.

I brew a lot. I mean a lot. I can buy in bulk now without having to worry about the freshness of the grains. Just mill what I need when I need. One trip to the LHBS and I'm good until I run out of grains. Grind as fast or slow as you prefer, just remember to adjust the gap depending on your grind speed. Super sturdy. Nice "funnel" design makes it easy to load with lots of grain. Great size. Clean up is easy: just wipe down grain dust with a rag. I use a cordless drill attached to the mill.

The mill worked fine for the first 10lbs of malt. 25 additional lbs. later I have a pile of metal shavings next to the hand crank. There is play "1/8 inch" in the roller so a assume the crank side bearing failed. Skip this one and learn from my mistakes. I believe this particular mill is sold under several different brands. So if you are comparing different brands with what looks to be the same mill it might very well be the same and it's probobly best to avoid the heartache.

Works as described. We purchased it for crushing corn, for chicken feed, and it does a decent job.Worth the purchase, after looking at many other options, and other products.Pleased with this product.

Just put together and used this mill for a batch of homebrew. It worked reasonably will with the mill gap in the middle of the range.I had some difficulty putting this together because some of the screws were very poor quality - the screw rounded out and crumbled using a philips head driver. There was some room for a flathead to fit, and with care I was able to get the mill assembled. Including some stainless steel hardware can't ding the profit margin that much, can it?The only other very minor point is that the gap adjustment feels very loose, almost like a particularly hard piece of malt could open the gap in the middle of the crush. That didn't happen though, the crush was just fine.On the plus side, there weren't any fitting issues - every hole lines up fine and once assembled looks very nice.On the whole, I'm happy with this mill.

J’entend beaucoup de personne se plaindre de leur moulin de basse qualité . Mais avec celui la , vous ne vous tromper pas , fonctionne super bien et rapide avec une perceuse. Bonne qualité et facile a assembler.

At first I was a little hesitant to buy what is quite clearly a foreign made, no name, grain mill. It's obvious by the bad sentence structure on the label that this thing is probably Chinese. I figured that I would have to adjust the holes in the hopper to fit, but, this thing really surprised me. I've been a home brewer for many years, I built my first grain mill out of a pasta roller and I used the hell out of it until it finally had seen it's last brew day. So, on to Amazon I go and I find this for just over $100.00, it looks exactly like the Barley Crusher but under a different name. I imagined if there were any issues I could make it work for long enough to find a better version in the classified ad sections on some forums, but, wow am I impressed with this thing! There was one minor hiccup when we went to mill the grain for our brew day today, whoever assembled it at the factory put the drive roller in backwards. When we went to mill the grain, we hit the trigger on the drill and the screwed-in drive shaft spun out, so, evaluating the situation I discovered that the drive roller was backwards, easy fix. So I grabbed a screw driver and pliers and quickly undid the screws, flipped the drive roller around to be oriented the other way, and re-assembled. Less than 10 minutes to do it. Back outside we go and dump the grain back in the hopper, this time when we hit the trigger it was quite apparent that this thing was ripping through the grain. I typically run it through twice, once at .050" and then again at .025". I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised by the speed this mill chewed through my 20.5lb grain bill. It was easily under 10 minutes to run all the grain through twice. I don't think I'll be planning to upgrade grain mills any time soon. I wish I would have had this a long time ago, would have made so many brew days much much faster. If you need an inexpensive mill to do a very adequate job, this is the one to buy.
