Overview
- Tool-less Gap Setting: Simply turn the dial to the gap setting you want.
- Integrated Motor: It's time to put the hand drill down.
- Offset Driven Rollers: The rollers are turned at different speeds (1.3:1) as this helps to shear the grain husk rather than crushing it and producing excess flour and dust.
- Optimal Hopper Size: Fill, but not overflow a 5-gallon bucket on the Home and add a full 50 lb bag on the Pro.
- Dust Mitigation: We got lots of feedback about dust. So we incorporated a dust mitigation funnel to help contain and reduce the amount of dust that ends up in your brewery.
- Light and Compact: Coming in at 25 lbs, the Home Mill is literally half the weight of competitor mills. Your back already says, "Thank you!"
- Hardened Steel Rollers: With the expertise of Briess Malt behind us, our team developed hardened 1144 steel (Rockwell 45C) rollers featuring a unique helical machined flute design which delivers the best crush available
- Chain Driven: Smooth and strong, the chain won't stretch or slip like a belt, or create wear shavings like gears. Both rollers are chain driven so there's zero chance of a jam.

Tool-less Gap Setting
No tools, feeler gauges or any other crazy contraption required—simply turn the dial to the gap setting you want.
Integrated Motor
Featuring an integrated motor that saves you time and headaches! You can finally put that hand drill away and step up to a purpose built all-in-one mill.
Mill Throughput
You asked for this, and we listened! Due to the mass production approach we've taken with the Mill, we're able to get a lot of Mill throughput without the high cost. The Home is less expensive than the SsBrewtech, but outputs more milled grain/min. It's less expensive than the Blichmann but still in the same output ball park.
Then you have the beast that is the Pro. It's about the same price as the Blichmann, but can mill DOUBLE what that can do.

We've said it before and we'll say it again, we don't believe in a "one size fits all model" when it comes to certain aspects of brewing. Which is why we came up with a Home and a Pro grain mill. So no matter if you're brewing in a basement or a commercial brewhouse, you're getting the best, fastest and most precise crush for your brewing system.
