First, loosen the two screws on the back of the mill with a phillips head screwdriver. It will only take about a quarter turn on these screws to free the rollers. After loosening the screws, just turn the knobs on either side of the mill to adjust each side of the roller gap. Put the feeler gauge into the gap as you adjust the knobs.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Assembly was easy despite the lack of instructions; most of it was common sense. Setting the mill gap took a bit to figure out, but once I realized how the cams move the adjustable roller it made sense. The .032 setting made for a perfect crush for my eBIAB rig. I would highly recommend this mill to anyone from novice to expert.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Re: the solder strip. That's a pretty good idea! UPDATE: So we adjusted the mill to a couple different settings that looked in the range, then compared the grind side by side using both Gambrinus ESB and GW Pale Ale malt. Found one that looked best overall on visual inspection and used it. Got 85% efficiency on a (19 plato) wort.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377I milled both sets of grain consecutively, starting with the coarse grist, running it through my 2roller mill with a gap setting of inches (1 mm), which cracks the hull and exposes the starch without completely demolishing the grain. This is a common default setting for many popular homebrew mills.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377I just got my Barley Crusher grain mill. I'll be brewing partial mash BIAB with 57 lbs of grain. Previously my conversion efficiencies have been low with standard milling so I want to mill the grain finer. Should I double mill at standard roller setting or single mill at say or ? Which would be best?

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377This article says that a mill gap between and inches ( and mm) is thought to be a good, allpurpose setting for barley malt.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377I have a Barley Crusher mill and I like it just fine. I bought it because I was getting an inconsistent coarse crush from my LHBS. I brew BIAB so a finer crush was important to me and consistency was even more important to reliably reproduce the same beer. My gap is at .024 but once again I BIAB so the concept of a stuck sparge is foreign to me.

The benefits of this crush are little flour which can cause a sticky stuck ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377With a Barley Crusher you can't change the gap without loosening/tightening two set screws, so you can't adjust it on the fly, unfortunately. My drill has two settings "1" or "2" and I think 1 is 400rpm so I was using that. The barley crusher site mentions this, so that is why I thought 400rpm was ok (and has seriously been awesome for months arg):
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Try tightening your gap, don't worry about how your crush looks relative to your old corona mill. I have used a barley crusher for about 4 years. I tightened mine up from the factory setting to about .032". It worked great and gave me great efficiency (8085%) for about three years and has been slowly wearing out over the last year or so.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The gap is set at .045" and produces an excellent crush on barley malt. Adjust the mill gap setting to .030" for rye malt. If the grains are really small then adjust accordingly. I leave the Barley Crusher gap ~.035 for barley, wheat rye. I always mill wheat rye first and mill it twice before milling the barley.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377This humble machine is a 2roller mill whose gap gauge allows for variation to meet most, if not all home brewing needs. This gap can be set between " to " meaning you can adjust the gap depending on the need. To make things even more enticing, the Barley Crusher can be easily and securely placed on a 56 gallon bucket.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The optimal gap size will depend on your grain type and volume of grains. If brewing with a Grainfather Brewing System, we recommend starting at Gap Setting 5 for most pale malts and adjusting as necessary after your brew session. For more information about why it is important to get the crush right, see here.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377At 115 it's not a small investment, but grain mills can easily get above 200 so it's not on the higher end of the price range. It comes with a 7 lb capacity aluminum hopper. If you want a 15 lb hopper, the total cost comes to 138. I decided to save 23 and do the minimal extra effort of refilling the smaller hopper.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The Malt Muncher 3 is another great threeroller grain mill at a lower price point than the Monster Brewing Hardware option.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The mill fit perfectly on top of a 2gallon bucket. I didn't condition my malt at all beforehand, and ran about 11 lbs of pilsner malt through the mill.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377my barley crusher is two mo. old and there is now a flat milled into the shaft. not a very technical job of crushing the grain so i suppose that any mill will be about the same with a similiar setup. the reason i bought the BC is that it was ready to use 1 min out of the box. my eff. did jump from 65(store crush)to 78% and has been consistent since then
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Re: Grain mill gap adjustment for corn. by Prairiepiss » Mon Jan 14, 2013 5:30 pm. I just went and measured mine. It will adjust from .0025 to .090 thouhs and a barley crusher is .015 to .070 thouhs. Looking at it I don't think I will be doing whole corn with it. It'snotsocoldnow.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The gap was back to factory setting. I tightened it back down to my preferred .030 gap. Will remain to be seen how long that oring lasts with that gap setting. Ran 9 lbs of grain through without a hitch. Picked up the grain and took off, crushed perfectly, no issue. I have to say I'm pretty pleased with performance of the unit now.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Does anyone know of a fully adjustable gap, geardriven malt mill? The Scmidlings offer either gear driven OR adjustable. But their set gap is .045, which is a bit wide. I run my Barley Crusher at .035 which gives me the crush I want.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377I use a Barley Crusher Malt Mill with a Harbor Freight drill (Chicago Electric). I'd have to double check the model but it's very similar to this.. It's a big pain in the ass to hold the trigger at the perfect tension to get a good speed on the mill.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Make sure you reset your mill gap width to the desired setting. With my Barley Crusher, the factory width setting is indicated by a pair of corresponding marks on the roller adjustment shaft and the mill body itself. I like to tighten the gap to just a hair past the marks, maybe 1/16 of a turn.
