Guess I'm milling it myself.(I'll power it with a Milwaukee M18 drill on low speed).

Best tool I've ever owned, good luck
Looks dangerous. To fingers and barley that is.

That's a lot drill. I've got a Milwaukee compact cordless that has been stuck on low speed since I used it for drilling a few 6" holes(think it's rated for 1 1/2") Be a good use for it, I can leave it right with the mill.

All I can say is beware of mice, I kept about 300 pounds of grain in my garage regularly until they arrived, now I don't lol
Going to pick up a HD plastic bin tomorrow. Will keep it in there with a silica pack. The rest of it goes either in the freezer or a plastic bucket with a tight lid.
Going to use the Red Active for 27.8% of the grain bill for my next batch of "Dirty Bohemian" this weekend. I'll know more about the color after I brew with it.
Sounds like weyermann red X malt without looking it up. What a haul there mate wowie!
What's in the smaller bags?

I keep a couple hundred pounds in rubbermaid totes in my garage. And I use a Canadian Tire concrete mixing drill to power my corona mill. I want one of those shiny mills but my little Corona just keeps chugging along.

5 pounds of Viking Dextrin, 20 of Viking Pilsner, 1 of Briess Midnight Wheat... 3 pounds of the Dextrin, 5 of Red Active and 10 of Pilsner are in my Mash tun right now!!!
And post mash it looks like...and it's spent(actually already being digested by a nice shorthorn steer)
Hard to tell from the picture, but post boil color is a really nice red/gold.
Makes a dandy hoppy red ale...
Not much of a photographer, I know...

Added an ounce of Galaxy to the dry hop...next time I will skip it, think it would be better without it.

I picked up the same mill, but at Austin Homebrew Supply they brand it the Cereal Killer lol. I used the hand crank just to see how much effort it actually took and I chowed through 12 lbs of grain easily in a matter of minutes. I may very well continue doing it by hand. Kinda therapeutic!
