I have this malt mill I bought from Northern Brewer and, though it does well with base malts and slightly less well with harder specialty malts, it won't grind crystal malt at all. The handle is attached to the shaft with a set screw that allows the handle to slip on the shaft rather than crush the rock-hard crystal malt. Has anyone had this problem and found a way around it?
I was at a junk store last week and bought two old cast iron mills similar to this one for $1 each. They have a small hopper but they'll process crystal malt like it **** through a goose. It's a little inconvenient but it does a great job.
