Do you guys think this would be a good mill or should I spend the extra cash and get a BC?

it sure looks the same as the barley crushers.

If I had to do it again, I'd make my own base as it's just fiber board, make my own hopper, and buy one of these:

They also sell a base and hopper set for their mills for $45

I think for my application the MM is a bit overkill and I'd like to have something that can run with a drill

If you have a BC and want to upgrade to a MM, you could sell me yours if you want

As far as I know Jamie, that mill is pretty much identical to the Barley Crusher.  I would buy it.

I thought my barley crusher would be all I needed too when I was making 5 gallon batches....but it takes a long while to crush 50LBS at a time....so the crankandstein would be a better fit for me now.  They last forever so "buy once cry once" as someone said at the mashoccur.

I would definitely consider selling my BC to you Jamie.  PM me and we'll chat.

Just found this today for about the same price as OBKrusher it has ball bearings like the cankandsteins not bronze bushings like the barley crusher and it comes with a free scoop. http://espressoonline.com/products/barl ... iew/27/105  Any thoughts? Does the OBKrusher have bearings or bushings?
