Grain Mill Set Up - How to - 3 Roller Mill

[@kevinlmcmahon]

Thanks mate. Just picked up a 2 roller and thought I'd watch a vid before assembling. Glad to see the advice on the little side bits to the inside. Saved me a few minutes no doubt. Cheers

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

No worries at all mate, Cheers!

[@hughconn16]

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. Got mine form Morebeer and it was missing nuts/bolts and had minimal instructions. I found a video showing how to set the roller gap, but yours was the only one to show how to assemble! Thanks!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

+Hugh Connelly Cheers mate! Thanks for watching!

[@oscadelta]

Thanks Gash .. love the vids, good to watch an Aussie at work

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

oscadelta thanks mate, cheers!

[@PAULNAT]

Nice, I just brought one of these last week, I have only tested the mill so far the brewery is still in the build.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

good stuff mate, Cheers!

[@WreckedBrewery]

I have the MM2 (the 2 roller version of your very close to the real deal MM3 is) and I can tell you assembly is virtually the same. It's a great mill, I'm so glad I picked one up a couple of years back. I've been using a cordless drill to power mine for the longest time. Just ordered all the bits to motorize it. Can't wait. Nice mill man. No more needing the homebrew shop to crack the grains! Gotta love the freedom and control of doing it yourself.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Once I get a dedicated brew area I think I set up mine up with some form of motor too! Cheers!

[@darrellevans1391]

Thanks mate, just purchased the same mill, good to see how you adjusted the rollers, cheers 👍

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

No problem 👍

[@BARFYADAMS]

Good day mate. Congratulations on your new hopper

[@BARFYADAMS]

I just realized this is an old video. Congratulations on your old mill!

[@joemoore2615]

Thank you so much for the video. I can’t believe this come with no directions. I just got mine and this may be a stupid question, but I was wondering if you did anything to get the stickiness off the hopper. After removing the blue protective coating I find there is a lot of sticky residue left on the inside. Thanks!

[@NoelSufrin]

Merry Christmas five years later - and hey, just got the same one from my sweet wifey for Christmas 🎄 🎁

[@cidermeister9440]

Great idea to keep your grains fresher until you need them. Looking forward to the vid of your pale ale, looks great. Cheers and happy new year.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching, Cheers mate!

[@miket637]

Thanks for this. I just bought the same mill and there are no instructions provided. Great help this video, much appreciated

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers Mike!

[@hughconn16]

Thanks for making this video. I just got my new mill and set it up right the first time thanks to your video. It came with weak assembly instructions.

[@dkdk-pd1vn]

Cheers mate, great video. Really appreciate the technical explanations along the way instead of "look what I did".

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching mate, Cheers!

[@TheHeraldOfChange]

Old video, I know, but I'd like to know what is the benefit of a 3 roller mill over a 2 roller mill, or corona, auger, stone, steel plate, or hammer mill (the last five are typically used as flour mills)?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

I much more even crush that leaves the husk intact, exactly what you want for beer.

[@TheHeraldOfChange]

@@HomeBrewNetwork Well, my three roller is on its way, so I'll get to test it for myself. I have an Ankarsrum Grain Mill: which is auger style, like a poppyseed mill; and I have an adjustable horizontal stone mill. I used to have a two roller mill (didn't like it) and vertical mills, one of stone, one of steel, that were a bit like industrial corona mills; which are very common in Asia, but I've moved on since them. All of these, I found, benefited from conditioning the grain with approx. 3% water by weight prior to grinding to leave the husks more intact. Do you condition your grain with the roller mill, or is thee no need?

[@jesusVSsanta]

Makes me want to get one... but a nice Blichmann burner is highe on my list right now, then maybe a keg system.... Thanks for showing your setup.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching, Cheers mate!

[@mdspider]

Looks great! Thanks for the video.

[@frankshomebrew7759]

Gash, that is a superb video mate, thanks. I have been looking at these recently for my speciality grains as what I want is not always available pre-crushed. if you ever do power this, would you mind throwing up a video of that too. thanks chap.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

No problems, Cheers mate!

[@gunder3]

Thanks for the video, i just bought a mill from Kegland and there was no instructions.. Cheers

[@AlisterRobbie]

Cheers for the video bloke. Just took delivery of one of these bad boys and was wondering how the hell i was going to put it together. Great work.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

+Alister Robbie Cheers mate, Thanks for watching!

[@Majnun74]

Thank you for the video! I am assembling my mill and hopper this moment watching this video.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Good Luck, Cheers mate!

[@Majnun74]

Gash Slugg Just finished. I used a credit card to guage the distance between rollers. Cheers!

[@pookanc]

Good to see you Posting Again. Nice Mill. Time for a Drill to run it Now....lol Happy New Year! Cheers Gash!

[@tonimaxwell9280]

Nice work Gash, Nice pressie, Cheers!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate!

[@AngryParrotDistillery]

Hey fella, could you adjust this to mill corn or is that just going to blow it apart?

[@juangonzalez-sk2xx]

congratulation from Merida, Venezuela

Cheers mate!

[@RYEINDUSTRIAL]

Happy New Year Gash! Mill crushes fast. Good choice. Cheers ! Rye-Az

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks mate, Same to you! And great to hear from you! Cheers mate!

[@katynathanoe]

I am looking at petting a mill some. Great vid

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate!

[@Canadiansasquatchbrewery]

Great video as always Gash! Thanks for sharing how you got it up and running! Cheers and Merry New Year!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks mate Cheers!

[@Royphex]

Hi Gash. Great vid. I am curious as to whether you have noticed an improvement in the flavour of your beer when you mill the malt yourself versus buying pre-milled malt? Cheers

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

+Royphex G'day! Not much to be honest, but... I am lucky and the Home Brew Shop I go to always crushes the grain on the day you pick it up, so I've never done a batch with grain that has sat around crushed for a while. I would think that it would stale a bit after a certain of time. Cheers mate!

[@DanABA]

Very cool... how much did you save with assembling it yourself versus a Monster Mill?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Monster Mills need to be assembled the same way as far as I know! www.monsterbrewinghardware.com/faq.html#q8 Cheers Dan, Thanks for watching mate!

[@rhysparker5632]

Are you still using this same mill today?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Yes, for sure!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Yes, for sure!

[@TheSickest666]

I hit the like button because of the Ash shirt

[@12ernie]

Good video! Always watching brother! Ernie

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks Ernie! Cheers mate!

[@saintmoz]

Are you still cranking this puppy by hand or have you chucked a drill on that sucker? If you have what drill would you recommend(I'm in Australia, so the harbour freight drill that most of the yanks is is not an option)?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

I still do it by hand, only takes a minute or two, but any drill that has a bit of power/torque behind it and is variable speed should do the job, you may need an adapter or make sure the chuck opens larger then the normal 10mm. Grab one from bunnings, talk to some one, get a recommendation then you can take it back if its shit. Cheers!

[@saintmoz]

+Gash Slugg thanks mate, just got the grain mill, should work well with my biabiae(brew in a bag in an eski). Buying my base grain in sacks as I'm based in country Victoria and I'm getting reamed on postage. Not sure if you're planning on doing any more videos, but I do enjoy yours when they come out and it's great seeing Southern Hemisphere Brewers brewing in season.

[@imperia1999]

Nice little bit of kit shame you don't have any pants now till next Xmas, great video on how to set it all up. Cheers Happy New Year.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

hahaha Cheers mate!

[@luisboulangger7273]

Nie and very good explain!!!!!!!!!

[@andyspet]

nice shiney new toy for crimbo, better then the socks and deoderant i got ha ha all the best for the new year andy.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Just have to make these disgraceful underpants I'm wearing now last another year hahaha! Cheers mate!

[@inspirality]

Nice review and build Gash. I'm about to get one of these, are you still using yours and how is it holding out ? Cheers Jerry 🍻

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Yep, still using it, haven't changed it all, lazy.. but its working just fine! Cheers mate

[@smgri]

cool vid...did you consider the 2 rollers? I keep hearing 3 is the best ///// Garve

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

2 rollers work just fine, 3 rollers work a bit better! Cheers!

[@smgri]

thanks man !

[@Wind_Ninja_Jubei]

Are you still using this mill gash. What setting do you use for crushing that is good for robo brew 3

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Yes I am, I can't tell you a measurement or setting, I set it to the grain. First time I set it up I measured, it was wrong for the grain I was using so I just went by the look of the grain and adjusted till I was happy. Was a little on the fine side because I was using wheat and its a very small grain. I've just left it like that but I wet condition my grain now and its coming out great with great flow through the grain bed! Cheers mate

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

If you really want I might be able to take a measurement reading tomorrow, if I can get to it

[@Wind_Ninja_Jubei]

@@HomeBrewNetwork Fare enough was more curious as i just purchased this mill. Always just had the store do it. Maybe a good little video for you is how to wet condition grain. Haven't seen that before.

[@novemberromeo8170]

I agree with the crab man. Great vid. well explained how you set them up. Thanks. Didn't know you cast. have to check that out. chrs. 303

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Yeah I've been casting for 3 years or more, usually fall asleep at the helm hahaha Cheers mate!

[@BARFYADAMS]

Are you happy with this mill?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

No complaints! Its still working and its 4.5 years old. Cheers!

[@noelhenderson8095]

I seen another video where they use a drill instead of a handle and its so much quicker

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

You can use a drill, but milling fast is no good, use a slow high torque drill, the drills sold for paint mixing, some times called spade handle drills. Go as slow as you can . Cheers!

[@Andrewdkite]

Thanks just got one - no instructions - so I came here :)

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching and good luck! Cheers!
