I’ve seen a mention of Schmidling Model P, Monster Mill, and of course I mentioned Cereal Killer. IF someone were to go further down the rabbit hole and buy one what would you recommend? ---

Here is a good thread to look at: [https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=21076.0](https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=21076.0) But in the mean time, I have had 3 mills: Cereal Killer, Captain Crush, and now Schmidlings.  Schmidlings is the best of those. ---

I should use that search function more often! Thanks for the link. ---

I recently made the move from a Barley Crusher that stopped crushing barley to a Monster Mill 3. I’ve only got one batch on it but the thing is solid, has a huge, sturdy hopper and I’m confident I’ll get years of reliable use.  S’pose I’m gonna find out. ---

I have used a Schmidling adjustable for nearly 15 years an untold hundreds of lb. of grain.  Still going strong and doing a great job.  If I needed a new mill, I’d buy another one. ---

I currently own a Schmidling Model P and a 3-roller Monster Mill.  If I had to start over again, I would purchase another Schmidling mill.  My current Model P is actually my second fixed-gap Malt Mill.  I sold my original fixed-gap Malt Mill when I left the hobby for several years.  Schmidling mills are definitely not the sexiest mills on the market, but they last forever under real world use.
