 Pleased but not "Wowed"Dec 31, 2007
By James M. Cochran
"-JC"
I use this mill to crush the grain for my beer recipes. It works exceptionally well as a mill, but there are some basic things that were overlooked by the people who designed it.
It stands a little too close to the surface it's attached to. I can't really fit a bowl under it that will hold as much grain as I wish to crush. Also, it should come with a guard of some kind to keep crushed grain from flicking itself out from between the grinding plates and onto my floor or tabletop. My only other concern is that it doesn't seem to have a larger holding area on top. Even for someone who needs to grind less than me I can see the small bowl on top being an annoyance.
As for the good things, it is very efficient and goes through the grain very quickly. It also has an adjustable grinding plates so I can easily adjust the size of my crushed grain. It also takes very little effort to operate.
THIS IS NOT A FLOUR MILL!!! If you are looking for a flour mill, I recommend searching for such. This is an excellent option for people who don't want to spend $200 on an expensive roller mill. THIS product is IDEAL for the small batch homebrewer!

 Grizzly cast iron corn / grain millDec 21, 2007
By Gerry A. Walker
We purchased the product about a month ago to grind corn for our chicken food mix. While the quality of the grinding is fairly good the handle already needs repair and frequent oiling due to the metal stripping where the handle attaches to the mill. It did not stand up to the process of grinding on a daily basis. The grinder flings corn in several directions and it is hard to contain the cracked corn to the location desired. We are aiming for a 35 gallon metal trash bin. I would not recommend this product unless it would seldom be used.

Coarse grinderMar 31, 2007
By T. Lee
I was looking forward to making my own flour using this grinder. But, the thing does not really grind fine enough. The finest I was able to achieve is a corn meal sized granularity.
Also, there is a tin coating on the cast iron. I guess this prevents corrosion. I didn't expect it to have any sort of coating though.

A Great Value for the HomebrewerMar 02, 2009
By Andrew Edds
After scouring the web for a Corona or Victoria and seeing how pricey they were, I broadened my search and found this gem. For homebrewing this thing works great for getting the grains cracked without pulverizing them. I personally don't get into a hurry when I brew, so the smaller hopper and longer milling times doesn't really bother me. Also, I have ground coffee with the mill for brewing in a French press with superb results, though I don't know how well it would do for a finer grind.
There are some downsides to this mill. This is a Chinese product. I tried my hardest to buy American, but the only affordable mill made here was on backorder for 4-6 weeks. Also, it helps to have aluminum foil or tupperware improvised shield above the burrs to prevent materials from being spread all over.

Very functional w/ a few modificationsJan 10, 2009
By Adam A. Helwich
"frugal prepper"
I ground hard red wheat and great northern beans with my new mill tonight. You have to feed what you're grinding through a few times to get a fine grind. In order to grind beans, you need to loosen the bolts that hold the pressure plate against the mill for the first time through. I agree with another reviewer that the directions are printed wrong as the nylon spacers should be between the pressure plate and the grinder. In order to clean the unit, you have to unscrew 3 screws and pull out a cotter pin. The screws are pretty easy to strip so I got new ones from the local hardware store, they are M5-.80x10. It is also a pain to deal with a cotter pin every time you want to clean the mill, so I replaced it with a hitch pin. It works for what I use it for and I'm satisfied.
