Hi all,
I brewed my first AG BIAB last weekend, and thought I'd save time on brew day by milling the grain the night before. However, the mill had a hell of a time "grabbing" the grain, and I had to empty & refill the hopper half a dozen times to get the grain to catch, which took way longer than expected.
I'm milling on the OBKrusher, which I believe is identical to the Cereal Killer. Gap was set to 0.030" (credit card), and I was happy with the crush, when it eventually made it through the mill (got 83% brewhouse efficiency, not bad for my first AG brew!).
Living in central Alberta, Canada, the humidity is pretty darn low. Would that, or anything else, contribute to the grain not "catching" in the mill? I had it hooked up to an electric drill, tried switching the drill's direction back and forth, shaking the mill to settle the grain, etc. I just want to avoid this in my next brew!
