I've had my Barley Crusher for about a year now. I've put at least 300 lbs of grain through it now. I've calibrated the roller spacing with some feeler gauges so that the gap is 39/1000ths of an inch. I have a hell of a time sparging. So much so that I started using rice hulls in every batch about 6 months ago. I still have some problems.
For those of you who have barley crushers, what do you set your gap at? I'm thinking I'm going to have to bump mine to 41/1000ths for my next batch.
39 thou, no issues.
Mine's still at factory default :-\ never any sparge issues though...
Used mine for the first time tonight (OBK Grain Mill). Set gap as width of credit card (wife's Amex) and all went well well for a 47 liter abtch.
Mine is at 30.

Really? That seems awfully tight.
I use the factory setting and I've put many hundreds of pounds through it. The only time I have sparging issues is if there is more than 50% wheat.
