KitchenAid grain mill attachment - not good for brewing

E-mail Print PDF

A few years ago I bought my wife a kitchenaid mixer and somewhere along the line she got a grain mill attachment for it.  I figured I could use this mill to crack grains for the purpose of brewing.  I was wrong.  While this mill has a width adjustment even the most course setting is too fine- especially for heavily roasted malts.  My German caraffe and chocolate malts basically turned into dust.  For lighter malts like crystal 60L some husk is retained, but still less than ideal.  Add to the grind problems that the hopper only holds ~3/4 lb at a time and this mill really falls short of being brew worthy.  Honestly, just avoid this thing unless you're making bread.
