Grain Crush Size for Brewzilla (feddit.de)

submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

To save money and flavour, I got myself a grain mill. I thought this would be simple, but setting the grind/crush size seems to be even more difficult than in the world of coffee 🙈

So far I’ve learned that AIOs like my Brewzilla (Gen 4) like the crush a little coarser because the grain basket and overall construction restrict the flow of the wort already. Can anyone here confirm or refute that? Does anybody have that exact same system and care to share their preferred setting (or settings/tendencies, as different malts can be milled to different sizes)?

not entirely answering the question, but hot tip: one can screen the grain to remove the finest flour. adds a bit of labour but i find it's not too bad. this is craft brewing after all 😄
