Grain mills

[Martin Bridges]

I'm in the market for a grain mill. I've looked back through the threads on here and there are a few recommendations but I thought I'd see if there was any up to date info. I've borrowed a Barley Crusher MaltMill before (thanks Barry!) and it has worked well. With the current exchange rate this is looking like NZ$315 including shipping.

The MillMaster from Craftbrewer in Aussie is about NZ$330 plus shipping (including the hopper and handle). I expect shipping will be fairly pricey given it is a heavy item. Is this mill worth the extra bucks?

Are there any other options? The mill that Hauraki Homebrew list on their site looks more like a coffee grinder!

Cheers,

Martin

I love my MillMaster.
Got it for Christmas about 1½ years ago.
I did a deal with all the family and in-laws, and said I just want the one thing only, and would they kindly all put in for it.

better than socks and grundies eh?!

Seriously - Mike at Brewers Coop will prob have some Monster Mills soon - if you ask him.

Thanks everyone for all the information, as usual it has been just great having the feedback from Realbeer members! I've taken the plunge and ordered a little Monster.
