new grain mill - recommended crush size

I wish I had a manometer.

I have no idea what my mill is set to and I don’t care.  I care about the grist, not the gap.  It will differ for everyone depending on their system.  20 years ago I set my mill as tight as it would go and I’ve never changed it.

I imagine size of barley corn may influence mill setting as well.

Here’s a great podcast that is counterintuitive and recommends going to higher gap settings. I’ve taken mine to .045” and seen my efficiency rise but also a bit less consistent.
