Q: Are all the rollers gear driven or do the two other rollers simply turn from friction with the grain on the drive roller? I have had friends who have had issues with the three roller ungeared models.

A: There are no gears, it is friction. We have had very good results these mills although I wouldn't recommend them for any commercial applications.

Q: Clearer instruction for adjusting the gap is warranted. Can a feeler gauge be used? I don't trust my eyeball to obtain a consistent gap using the etched numbers. Should both adjustment knobs be turned clockwise, or one clock and the other counter?

A: We generally try for .042" to start with, which is about the width of a common credit card. If you put a credit card in between the rollers and adjust so the rollers just brush the card, you have a good initial setting. Keep in mind the setting is determined also by the plumpness of the malt kernels, for example, 6 row will require a narrower gap and some two row types a little bit wider.

Q: There are gap adjustment knobs on each end of mill, and thumb screws on one side, but no decent instructions on making adjustments. Can you provide instructions? Also, the 2 idler rollers keep freezing up which prevents milling. Any suggestions?

A: Start at .063 for your first crush, and see if all the kernels are crushed. If some are still whole passing through, drop it down between .063 and .032 evenly on both sides. The idea is to have it as wide open as possible while still crushing every kernel (which depends on kernel size). If your idler rollers are freezing up, it could be grain dust that has been sitting in the gaps at the end of the rollers that gets hard with humidity. Try a hot water rinse on the sticky rollers to get rid of the grain dust deposits.
