This is a very good 3 roller mill https: ... assuming the same mill gap setting. Conditioning can result in more intact husks, which helps with lautering (flow of liquid through the grains when draining).

I really wanted to get a Monster Mill grain mill but I couldn't order one online. All the LHBS's in my part of the state only carry the Barley Crusher so that's what I wound up buying. It looks like a nice mill, and plenty of people seem to be happy with it so I expect it will serve me well. It comes from the factory supposedly preset at a .039 ...
I have 16 5055# sacks of grain plus specialty grains through my CK mill and havent needed to take it apart, clean it or readjust the gap.. The only time Ive touched the gap settings was for efficiency reasons. If your Barley crusher is still working with regular use Id consider yourself lucky.
The gap was back to factory setting. I tightened it back down to my preferred .030 gap. Will remain to be seen how long that oring lasts with that gap setting. Ran 9 lbs of grain through without a hitch. Picked up the grain and took off, crushed perfectly, no issue. I have to say I'm pretty pleased with performance of the unit now.

Make sure you reset your mill gap width to the desired setting. With my Barley Crusher, the factory width setting is indicated by a pair of corresponding marks on the roller adjustment shaft and the mill body itself. I like to tighten the gap to just a hair past the marks, maybe 1/16 of a turn.
The Barley Crusher w/Base Hopper (15 lb capacity) is 156 including shipping. The Monster Mill MM2 w/Base Hopper (11 lb capacity) is 155 including shipping. I like them all, and know that people have good things to say about them all, however, I am looking for some real world info to help me decide.
I just got my Barley Crusher grain mill. I'll be brewing partial mash BIAB with 57 lbs of grain. Previously my conversion efficiencies have been low with standard milling so I want to mill the grain finer. Should I double mill at standard roller setting or single mill at say or ? Which would be best?
This article says that a mill gap between and inches ( and mm) is thought to be a good, allpurpose setting for barley malt. That article also has some other info that may be useful to you. However, the Barley Crusher is one commercial model that is very popular with home brewers, and it has an adjustable gap that is ...
Re: Grain mill gap adjustment for corn. by Prairiepiss » Mon Jan 14, 2013 5:30 pm. I just went and measured mine. It will adjust from .0025 to .090 thouhs and a barley crusher is .015 to .070 thouhs. Looking at it I don't think I will be doing whole corn with it. It'snotsocoldnow.
thanks to both of you. the barley crusher has a 5lb hopper on it that I'm guessing governs the rate at which barley actually reaches the mill. I've been using the same drill at the fastest speed of the lower setting. in other words the drill has 60 settings, 30 speeds per gear?.
In my case, consistency has nothing to do with it. The LHBS uses the same mill that I have (JSP) and give a good grind. But the LHBS is a 60+ mile round trip from home. I buy my malt from the LHBS, and buying 50 100 Kg at a time as whole malt doesn't go stale quickly, it paid for itself many times over with just the one trip.a.
Valley Malt has a barley CSA. It's 200/share and that includes 100 lbs base malt (2row or pilsner) and 30 lbs specialty over the course of a year. It runs from June to June and with the purchase of a mill, it's certainly something I'd think about doing. #9 sjverla, Feb 28, 2014. bgjohnston and ChrisMyhre like this.
2,911. Reaction score. 3,385. Location. Either in the brewery or on the road. Jul 15, 2021. #1. So here I sit with about 25 minutes left in the mash on what should be a relaxed brew day. But the Beer Gods frowned on me early in the process when without warning my grain crusher went Tango Uniform on me about half way through my 12 pound crush.
With a Barley Crusher you can't change the gap without loosening/tightening two set screws, so you can't adjust it on the fly, unfortunately. My drill has two settings "1" or "2" and I think 1 is 400rpm so I was using that. The barley crusher site mentions this, so that is why I thought 400rpm was ok (and has seriously been awesome for months arg):
The bag looked about equal to 34 pounds of malt. So I changed the amount of rice hulls in the recipe from 8ozs to 4ozs, as 4ozs worth would fill a 1lb Maillard Malt bag quite full indeed. In the end, the 4ozs of rice hulls worked beautifully with the quality of crush I get from the Barley Crusher Malt Mill.
The optimal gap will be affected by the knurling specific to each mill, so a reliable "standard" probably can't exist. If one has a mill, it usually comes with a recommended gap, a good place to start. fwiw, the recommended gap on the infamous Barley Crusher is .039". Cheers!

Does anyone know of a fully adjustable gap, geardriven malt mill? The Scmidlings offer either gear driven OR adjustable. But their set gap is .045, which is a bit wide. I run my Barley Crusher at .035 which gives me the crush I want.
