I am in the market for a mill and priced a monster mill 2 it's coming in about 260 delivered with a hopper, its out of my range

Anyone purchase one of the mills from the malt miller

This is the one I bought. No issues and there is groove in the wooden base that sits snug around lid of bucket so it doesn't slip off top of the bucket. I also use an aluminium lamp fitting to increase hopper size up to 15 kgs grain. Im not sure on benefits of the third roller on the one your looking at so cannot comments but im happy with this one. Just need to buy feeler gauge also with any roller mill that's adjustable to check gap regularly.

Cheers BB, that one looks like it will do the job. I have some brewferm gear already and it is quality.   I have no preference on 2 or 3 roller, I just want something that will work well, will last and won't break the bank.

Did you check out the one on Brewbuilder? 2 roller, but only £87.50.

Yeah, can't find any reviews on it, I want to get something tried and tested

That one doesn't have a base which will be work to make and bucket free from homebrewcompany.

Not sure on postage.

I will take photo of the base when home so you can see the way it sits on a bucket.

I have in on phone. That's the light fixture I use to increase hopper size help not having to keep filling up hopper. I will get pic on the groove under base later.

You can see the groove to left and right of the wooden base. It sits snug onto top of a plastic bucket so you don't end up try to balance anything and loose load malt over the floor.

I think I have a spare light fitting if any good for the club house ?

Yeah, we could use that fitting, I will be in contact, cheers.

That's a nice milling setup, think I am sold on it. Found a few reviews of that mill and they are all good
