Affordable Malt Roller Mills + Bottle Holders/Carriers?

A lot of people use the "corona" mills like that with succsess. If you look around a bit you can get them a bit cheaper but some of the china ones are not the greatest qaulity.

There are some even cheaper options available
But a mills a mill and a grinders a grinder

My first mill was the modded pasta machine variety.

So is the beer lab grain mill at R975 the most affordable way to go?

Yeah, but you're going to work your arm to bits if you want to turn a few kilos of malt. I'm currently running a review on a roller mill (dunno what it costs, TBH) but I'll post it in a few days. Just running around like a madman these days.

I wouldn't pay that money for just a manual type mill, TBH. A coffee grinder might work better.

If you strap a drill to it on low speed it turns 20-30mins and a sore arm into 5-10mins of drinking beer and filling the hopper.

But if you brew a lot a decent mill is worth the added cost.

I have a corona type mill and have been using it to crush grains for over 90 brews.I crush the grain fine as I do BIAB.
I crush the grain manually and will continue to do so. Have no plans to purchase a roller mill as I am satisfied with what I have.
