At some point I would like to purchase my base malts and grains in larger quantities and mill them myself.... I feel like each time I go to the LHBS I'm not getting the same results based on who's working that day... I always carry my Brewer's Friend recipe app with me and even though they write it down I suspect there is some variable there that I just can't put my finger on.
My grain bills are on average 6 Lbs for my 10 liter batches and I brew on average twice per month I'm not sure there would be a considerable financial savings but I feel like I would have more control over the quality...
Looking at my recipes most contain Pale 2 row, German Wheat or a Pilsner as the base malt...
How are bulk grains purchased... #10, #25, #50... I'm sure some of you have a preference of brands you prefer...
Is it advisable to look for a used grain mill or purchase new? What can I expect to pay used vs new?
Any particular brand or type of mill recommended?
