Florida Corona Grain Mill in a Bucket

[edecambra]

Hello All,

I have a cheap Corona style grain mill that I have put into a bucket ala the Ugly Junk thread. It is indeed ugly but works as well as can be expected for a cheap mill. I've been using it for the past 2.5 years for my batch sparging setup, full All Grain, and I've only had three stuck sparges with a high adjunct mash and no hulls! I get 65 percent efficiency with it. I replaced the handle with a bolt to use my drill and a socket bit to great success. You can always take it out of the bucket, but it is convenient to keep the dust down as these style mills are messy.

I'd like to sell this locally, as shipping a big bucket is inherently a pain. I"m in Gainesville, FL. I'm asking 25 bucks obo, cheers,

No interest huh?

What are you using to run it and how much to ship to 04240?

 

[edecambra]

If I end up shipping it, it would be without the bucket, just the mill.

I am using a beefy drill from harbor freight, and have been for as long as I've been using the mill, i.e. 2+ years. I'm pretty sure this is the drill but the color changed: http://www.harborfreight.com/1-2-half-inch-heavy-duty-variable-speed-reversible-drill-3273.html

On occasion, I have some friends that I visit up there but I don't think I'll be heading that way too soon.

Ok, so I took the mill out of the bucket and all the bits and pieces fit in a large USPS flat rate box. I have in it right now: corona grain mill, hopper (pictured above), hand crank and bolt, hex bolt for drill (no drill or socket included), hand made wooden stand for installation in a bucket.

Putting it all back into your bucket of choice is really as simple as putting an inch or so hole in the top of a bucket, just below all the ribbed material where the bail handle attaches. The "hardest" part was assembling this damn wooden brace for the clamp to attach, and its yours.

So listed is the 25 bucks plus shipping (which is the cheaper of 16.85 via usps or fedex, sometimes cheaper)

Cheers all

And I may be going out to jax in a week, if your interested I could let you know.

 

[watersr]

I am interested.

 

[edecambra]

I am interested.

Ok man, sorry to get your hopes up but my plans have changed and I am no longer making that trip.

In light of this and the general lack of interest, the price is dropped to 20 obo plus shipping, which is capped at 16.85 via USPS but may be lower via fedex, by a few bucks. This thing is heavy!
