Malt Muncher Three Roller Malt Mill

Alternative Views:

The 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.

It comes with a removable hand crank which can be replaced with a 1/2" drill rotor.

Please Note: The standard Malt Muncher Three Roller Malt Mill does NOT come with a hopper.

Want to add a Hopper?: Malt Muncher Three Roller Malt Mill Hopper has a capacity of 12 lbs. It is designed to direct grist down towards the mill gap making milling far faster and easier. (Some assembly required)

Hot garbage	March 19, 2019
Reviewer: Marie-Annick Scott from Edmonton, AB Canada

Beware the rave reviews. The issue with this mill for serious brewers is that only the bottom roller is adjustable. Want a finer crush? Too bad. Unless it's only slightly finer than the non-adjustable top two rollers, the crush point for the third roller is between itself and the non powered roller. That means that the mill will frequently jam because there's no force powering the second roller. And the powered roller will spin uselessly. It's why pro breweries stopped using 5 roller mills years ago. My advice is to buy a 2 roller mill, condition your grain and double crush.

A real champion	April 11, 2018
Reviewer: Adam Dubeau from Seven Persons, AB Canada

Only had a couple issues with this when I bought it. One of the locknuts for the hopper wasn't made right, as it had no threads, so I'm missing a hopper nut, but it doesn't affect the operation. The other issue was having to track down some mounting bolts and fabricate a mounting plate, but I was able to sort that out over a weekend.

I opted to add an electric motor to spin the mill, and after a quick trip to Princess Auto I was able to find a drive pulley, a hub, and a 9" pulley to reduce the mill speed to the recommended 200 RPM. I set the mill to the middle setting at .032" and it tore thru a grain bill like a fat kid opening a Mars Bar. The grist looks really good, everything is cracked open, and very little flour. Looking forward to using this a lot more.

Amazing Mill	March 18, 2018
Reviewer: Marc-Andre from Saint-Eustache

This mill is impressive, makes a perfect crush in no time. To make the most of it, get a powerful drill that can handle crushing at the recommended 200 RPM, this will make sure the husks are intact and reduce the amount of flour without having to condition the grains. If you're thinking about buying a mill, don't think twice, totally worth every penny!

Fantastic mill	November 5, 2017
Reviewer: Kevin from North Bay

This mill is a beast, top notch quality and can't beat the price. Only issue is if you're used to pulverizing your grain for BIAB, couldn't set the gap on mine much smaller than .034" without the lower roller rubbing the top dummy roller. Super consistent crush size though compared to a two roller mill and should make for much better flow while using traditional lautering methods. Mounting screws for attaching to a base are M6-1.00 thread and are not included.

Amazing Mill	September 18, 2017
Reviewer: Kevin from Port Dover

I've used for 3 batches and it's worth every penny. The hopper is big enough to hold all the grain for a regular 5 gallon batch. It chews through that in no time (literally a couple mins). My old Barley Crusher like mill would take almost 5 times as long, with fighting jambs.
It has preset markers for two different roller gaps which makes it easy to set up. No more guessing.
Amazing mill. Really happy with this product. OBK only stocks top notch equipment.
