If the latter, I wouldn't bother. I have heard they are not great, also if you need to grind any more than about a kg at a time it's just not worth it by hand. You can get the Crankandstein mill from the US for around 120 including shipping, it's a great machine, so you'd need to compete with that, and a hand crank grinder can't really compete with that[/quote:32pyfmjd]


You say 120 from the US, does that include a drill and a hopper and a mount?
I'd daresay that even that hand crank is better than nothing.
Can anyone confirm that a handheld cordless drill will have enough power and juice to run through a 15KG grain bill?
Personally I'd rather not burn out my cordless trying something like this, mains powered drills are surely the way to go?[/quote:32pyfmjd]

Ya, its similar to: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="www.hopandgrape.com/public/detailv1.asp?itemcode=CAS20184458">www.hopandgrape.com/public/detai ... AS20184458
but it is fully adjustable.

I guess its small, and easily attached to a table. I suppose its geared for those with only a few Kg to crush. We are trying to find a low cost way to move brewers into the all grain domain, that still produces the best quality output.

Eoin, I'll get one to you as soon as I have them (about 8 weeks away).

Ah, indeed a smart use of the resources.


Cheers Brian, I'll use it and do an honest appraisal, I need to get my blog running again, people are asking me to update it and I've just not been at it a while now since I started to do all grain.
I really should update on the BIAB and all-grain stuff that I'm doing.

This mill will be fine for extract with grain brewers but for all grain brewers it's just not going to be up to scratch. I don't say this to be critical, it's just not a realistic option.[/quote:6kwdc7sb]

Well I'll soon find out right?
My last lager grain bill was 14KG, I'm in no hurry, but if it's gonna put muscles on me then I'll feed that back.
I was actually planning to buy the particular mill from the UK a while back, a bad idea? Possibly but let's see how I get on. I'd imagine I can get 2KG through it in 5 minutes, or have you got experience that would tell you otherwise?
