I think this is also one of the biggest areas of improvement for a homebrewer. Many people only care about the hops. Grain is probably 80-90% of your dry mass for your beer. When I started crushing and looking after fermentation temperature the difference was mind blowing.
Yes totally agree , we regulary receive feedback from customers that they achieve a much higher extract using our crushed malt as we are doing a grist box test regularly to ensure we are crushing correctly. Temperature control and understanding your water another few points we recommend brewers focus on.
From someone that has recently put together this mill (and then watched this video to double check I’d done it right 😂), I’d recommend removing the blue film on the parts as you go along. It would otherwise be a nightmare to remove after the fact. For anyone who has had upvc windows installed, you will likely know what I mean. It is a plastic film, so leaving it on can only be unsanitary in the long run. Remember also to keep the nuts on the outside and screw heads on the inside of the hopper.
Three roller mills first pull the grain through a fixed-width gap that helps to separate the hull intact. Then they pull the grain through the adjustable gap to crush it. This helps keep a good bed of hulls in your grist. This bed of hulls filters the mash and helps avoid stuck mashes and stuck sparges.
I really wanted to see you put that hopper together and cuss up a storm. The idiots who designed this thing did not imagine that someone over 60 years old with carpal tunnel might have to assemble it. I am so sorry I bought this piece of crap. I ended up returning mine.

Are you supposed to remove the blue plastic film before using the mill?
Yeah you can do
What if any adjustments would you make to a mill like that to run it with a drill?
If you remove the handle it will allow you to attach a drill

We just wanted to keep it looking brand new for longer
Is there a quantifiable difference between the three roller mill over the two roller mill?

thanks for the reply - I would be really interested to see a comparison between the two and how to measure the difference?
