Grain Mills

[Smallman25]

Hey, I figured I would join in on this forum hoping that I could get some advice on a gift I was looking to buy my boyfriend. He is a pretty advanced home brewer. We're talking a significantly sized brewing set up that he invested a lot of money and time into (he designed and welded the entire thing himself). He makes great beer. One thing he doesn't have that he casually mentioned purchasing was a grain mill. I know nothing about the mills whatsoever and noticed while looking at them online that some of them go from about $200.00 to $2,000. I am not looking to drop a grand on a mill (at least not at this stage in our relationship ). Any advice or thoughts on whether or not the Grain mills at the lower price point are worth buying? I appreciate any help I can get. Thank You. Cheers!

A great first grain mill is the Barley Crusher.  It fits on bucket, and has the hopper with it.

And you can Google it compare prices.

Can't beat the Barley Crusher for a first grain mill.  I've been using mine for about a year now.  This thing has increased my efficiency so much over the homebrew shop's mill.
