waypoint Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm looking to purchase a new/used grain mill for my distillery in CT. I'm running 30bbl mashes and am looking for a mill that'll do 15-25 lbs/min. Thanks in advance John Taylor Waypoint Spirits Bloomfield, CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninWV Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 John, We bought a mill from a dairy operation out of VA. I love it and recommend it to everyone. It's a 20 HP mill with two augers. It's a beast. I think we paid close to $7500 for everything, including auger and auger motors, mill and mill motor, electrical, etc. That price is old - we made the purchase about 4 years ago. http://www.dairymenspecialty.com I work with Don Weaver. You might be able to find something dairy related much closer to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattabv Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Contact Robert Huebner at sales@coloradomillequipment.com I have used them in my last two distilleries and will continue to use them in the future. Great selection and service. You will be happy. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountySeat Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Recommend avoiding Pellet Masters. We've had plenty of issues with ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffy2k Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Uh oh, just received the 4hp mill from Pelletmasters, is that the one you are having problems with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountySeat Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I believe so. Your experience may vary but the design/build were pretty bad, it overheated a lot, and is incredibly dusty even with the cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowe8 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 for what its worth, we use a colorado mill equipment hammer mill and love it. our only issue has been the single tab to hold the screens in place isn't sufficient. it took 5 minutes to weld a second tab on. We run a 7.5HP motor and mill at ~25lbs/min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
