I have a Barley Crusher two-roller mill that I've used for a while. I drive it with a low-RPM corded drill When it works fine, it's good. Often when I'm crushing, though, I can tell there is no resistance to the drill. I have to reverse the drill for a couple of seconds and then hope the rollers catch. I sometimes also pick up the whole setup and tap it on the ground. I have my rollers close (about 0.65mm) for my BIAB setup.
Are my issues an unfortunate function of my mill, or is there something I can do differently to speed up what ends up taking about an hour of frustration for a 12 pound malt bill?
