Sub £100 Malt Mills

[Dave1970]

Mrs Dave is asking what I want for Christmas and I'm fed up of my super cheapo hand mill - Difficult to get a consistent crush with it

There seem to be 2 choices that are:
a. available in the UK
b. in stock with some shops
c. about the right price

There's the Bulldog Malt Mill available here for £89.99

This seems to have the advantage of the 2 rollers being geared together, which is meant to put less shear force on the grain resulting in more intact husks.

or the Brewferm mill, available from Amazon for £95.00

Anyone have any experience of either or able to recommend another one that fits a, b & c above?

Ah crap that's a good price on the Brewferm! I just ordered one from somewhere else (for more), and I haven't even got it yet.

Just ring them up and cancel under distance selling regulations, if they have already dispatched just refuse delivery so it gets sent straight back to them

I have had the bulldog for xmas so have only been allowed to test it, it works well with the gearing
and easy to adjust the rollers

[TheSumOfAllBeers]

I have the bulldog too, but how do you guys set these up? I would like to fix my mill to a hopper so that it is stable when I hand crank it.

I get enough resistance that it jerks around a lot.

i think angel homebrew do one for £76

[bevan100]

I set the gap at 1mm use a fairly wide bucket, at the moment i hand crank
and lean on the hopper not had any problems

Just looked Angelhomebrew £72 + postage
