The 15 LB High - Performance Hopper Grain and Malt Mill, The Barley Crusher, is perfect for both homebrewers and professional brewers. It's great for crushing grains and malts when you're brewing your own beer at home or in a commercial setting. The mill weighs 15 lbs. It has an adjustable gap for different crushing needs and can be used with a hand - crank or a 3/8 in. drill motor without an adapter. The hopper has an extension for a 14 lb capacity, and it comes with a solid base to center it on a 5 or 6 - gallon plastic pail (pail not included). With a high crush rate, it quickly processes large amounts of grains, making your brewing process faster and easier.
