Mash Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Guys and Gals, I'm in the need of a grain mill. My staple grain is corn, and I've tried the cheap crank burr mill, driven by drill, but it gave up the ghost. I also bought a barley / malt grinder but it will not crack the corn. So what do you use ? Thanks for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViolentBlue Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hammermill is the only thing that will handle corn in the volume you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWFiggins Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I am having great luck with steam-rolled corn, and only need 180-degree mash water. No milling needed! To mill small grains, I always recommend the Apollo Machine Works' Econo-Mill, made in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which also claims to be perfect for corn.

Rob Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hammermill is the only thing that will handle corn in the volume you need. A roller mill will work just fine for corn. Maker's Mark uses a roller mill, and I'm guessing the volume Mash is working with does not surpass their volume. We use a roskamp with 2 sets of rolls.
