Advice on choosing an awesome grain mill

[Dirt Chicken]

Hey all, I wanted to purchase a new grain mill that will do the trick for everything I might want to put through it, not sure what the best ones are , 2 or three rollers seem to be the choices.
I'd say I'm keen on being able to adjust for larger/smaller grain sizes as well as get a grinder that replacement rollers can be purchased years down the road if needed. Also something not made in china is nice too.

Any advice on this would be great, as well if there are any places in the country that I might be able to order from, thanks and safe holidays!!

I have been using this bad boy for 5+ years with no problems. They are good stuff.
Don't worry about ever having to replace the rollers. They won't wear out in 2 lifetimes of brewing.

Saweeeet thank you for the advice, I actually was looking at one of these BBoys a few months ago, and I could probably easily construct my own xl hopper for this one.

Thanks and happy holiday break!!

I ordered the Barley Crusher from Hop Dawgs and have been happy with it, though I've never used anything else.

Hoppers are easy to make, Take a plastic water jug and cut the bottom off. Build an adapter flange. Done.

I'd recommend looking for a 1/2 hp motor to power the mill. I had 2x 1/3 hp in series on mine and they wouldn't crush wheat. Switched to 1/2 hp and all is good.
My mill is shived to 325 RPM.

You can buy the barley crusher at noble grape c/w hopper.

I use a barley crusher. It works great, but I've never used anything else.

I'll vouch for the Barley Crusher also.

I vote for a 15 year old, dusty, motorized single roller mill found in Nash's mom's basement.

I have a three wheel crankenstein, works great, but needs a good motor IMHO.
