Customer Rating: Summary: Great For All-Grain 2008-11-11 Comment: Bought this for making beer from malted grains. It adjusted nicely and gave a crush that was pretty good for not using a roller mill. I'm getting 75-82% efficiency using grains crushed by this mill. Takes 3-5 minutes to crush a single pound of grain just hand turning the crank, but it's not bad for the price.

Customer Rating: Summary: Pleased but not "Wowed" 2007-12-31 Comment: I use this mill to crush the grain for my beer recipes. It works exceptionally well as a mill, but there are some basic things that were overlooked by the people who designed it.
It stands a little too close to the surface it's attached to. I can't really fit a bowl under it that will hold as much grain as I wish to crush. Also, it should come with a guard of some kind to keep crushed grain from flicking itself out from between the grinding plates and onto my floor or tabletop. My only other concern is that it doesn't seem to have a larger holding area on top. Even for someone who needs to grind less than me I can see the small bowl on top being an annoyance.
As for the good things, it is very efficient and goes through the grain very quickly. It also has an adjustable grinding plates so I can easily adjust the size of my crushed grain. It also takes very little effort to operate.
THIS IS NOT A FLOUR MILL!!! If you are looking for a flour mill, I recommend searching for such. This is an excellent option for people who don't want to spend $200 on an expensive roller mill. THIS product is IDEAL for the small batch homebrewer!

Customer Rating: Summary: Grizzly cast iron corn / grain mill 2007-12-21 Comment: We purchased the product about a month ago to grind corn for our chicken food mix. While the quality of the grinding is fairly good the handle already needs repair and frequent oiling due to the metal stripping where the handle attaches to the mill. It did not stand up to the process of grinding on a daily basis. The grinder flings corn in several directions and it is hard to contain the cracked corn to the location desired. We are aiming for a 35 gallon metal trash bin. I would not recommend this product unless it would seldom be used.

Customer Rating: Summary: Coarse grinder 2007-03-31 Comment: I was looking forward to making my own flour using this grinder. But, the thing does not really grind fine enough. The finest I was able to achieve is a corn meal sized granularity.
Also, there is a tin coating on the cast iron. I guess this prevents corrosion. I didn't expect it to have any sort of coating though.
