Hand Cranked Grain Mill.

[Greg2013]

On the lookout for one of these, said i would ask here first,roller or corona doesn't matter, its the money that will decide

I have looked online in the Irish HB shops and the corona are about 40 euro, as i said i wanted to ask here first.

Corona if you are on a budget, with a drill.
Do all the mods on the instructable, washers etc

I got 80% efficiency at the weekend using one.
Have had lots of opportunities to buy 2 and or 3s with relatives living in the US just never bothered.

If your going to buy a corona Mill then you will need a drill, a hex socket connector (i use a 13mm one) for the drill that will fit a hex bolt that you will want to fit in the Mill instead of a handle.  You will also need to make a hopper of some description to hold the grain as the corona mill hopper is tiny. I bought a galvanise bucket and some ply and cut out a hole in the bottom of the bucket.  I also cut a hole in the ply that fits snug around the top of the corona mill.  I bolted the ply onto the bottom of the bucket.  I cobbled together a wooden stand that I attach the corona mill on to. The stand and Mill are placed in a 33 ltr bucket.  Then I attach the ply and bucket combo on the top of the mill. For grinding I use a 5 ltr jug to feed the grain into the hopper with one hand and power the Mill with the drill with the other.

I put mine on one of those work benches - tie a tescos/aldi bag around the mill part and just refill the hopper that came with it - most I milled in any 1 session is @ 10 kg   I guess it depends on how often you mill and how much really - then again I am lazy so couldn't be arsed making better - bigger hopper

That car is sold and I'll be ucked if I'm telling you what my new one is

Those large whey protein tubs make perfect hoppers. The neck just needs a little tape for a tight fit in the existing hopper.

This was my corona mill setup:

[Ciderhead]

nice job
I sawed the top of the hex bolt off and just use a standard drill.
I find the washers also make a big difference when it comes to the uniformity of the crush
Now just off to the gym to get on of those bottles, bah!
Fortunately I have a customer that makes them

No worries, will keep it aside for you. You can pop me a few bottles once you get going with your all grain setup
