Product Code: KL03261The mill breaks down the malted barley into tiny pieces so that the mashing liquid can easily seep into the middle of the barley. This process is necessary because it allows the starch within the endosperm of the barley to ferment and create the beer flavour as well as its alcohol content. While home brewers can opt to grind the malted barley with a kitchen mortar and pestle, the process is very time consuming as you need to pound large batches of barley to create a substantial amount of beer. Thus, home brewers rely on a machined mill such as the Malt Muncher Three Roller Malt Mill.This mill is built to last and is sure to hold it's own over a lifetime of use. The three rollers are made out of cold rolled steel, whereas the body is constructed out of 6061 Aluminum with hardened steel bearings. Three roller mills draw grains in better and provide improved throughput making them better and more efficient than traditional two roller mills.The miller also features knurled rollers that can be adjusted on each end to produce evenly crushed malted barley. This allows home brewers to pull the barley to the rollers without destroying the hull. An intact hull is crucial for sparging. When milling it can be hazardous to have the rollers exposed as particles can fly out during processing. Luckily this Malt Muncher comes with sides that fully enclose the rollers. It comes with a removable hand crank which can be replaced with a 1/2" drill rotor. Please Note: The 12lb hopper and base board are included. However the required hardware to mount the mill to the board is NOT included. You will need Hex Head Metric Bolts - M6 x 1.00 x 15mm (x4) and Washers - 6mm (x4).Details: Rollers are adjustable at both ends allowing for the gap to be adjusted to ensure a uniform crush along the entire length of the rollers. The rollers have a 12 TPI knurl to efficiently pull the grain through the rollers while leaving the hull intact to form an excellent filter bed for sparging. Optimized for use with a power drill. Recommended 200 RPM. Comes with easy to use crank shaft allowing you to crush grain by hand. Hopper has a capacity of 12 lbs. It is designed to direct grist down towards the mill gap making milling far faster and easier. Polypropylene Base Board with pre-drilled holes Fully enclosed sides that help ensure that hazardous particles do not fly while processing. Some assembly required (attach the handle to the mill). There are no adapters needed to use a 1/2" drill motor. 12 lb Hopper 8 lbs Roller Dimensions: 6" Length 1 1/2" Diameter Base Unit Dimensions: 7" Length 3 1/2" Width 3 1/2" Height Base Board Dimensions: 17 11/16" Length 13 3/8" Width 3/8" Thick
