I found this place that works out to about $130 after shipping: https://www.rebelbre...-lb-Hopper.htmlHas anyone ordered from this website before?

Not a bad price, check ebay. I got mine from Northern brewer and it came out to almost 140 after shipping

Mine was $55 used, but I had to go get it

Why don't you just get it straight from the manufacture? I got mine from BC products directly and it was fast. I ordered it on Sunday got it on Thursday. Awesome mill. All I had to do is tighten the screw to attach the crusher handle and it was ready to go.BC Products

I guess for only a couple dollars more it's worth the piece of mind to get it from the most reputable source

Yeah, don't try to save $5 and give yourself more headaches. Buy it direct, give them your business and they'll stay in business.

I actually probably would have come to this conclusion myself if I even knew that they sold them direct. I think I just used the google shopping search to find the lowest price and I don't think these guys even show up on that search...

I got mine as a xmas gift but the last time I was at my LHBS, I think I saw them priced around the $125 mark. On another note, anyone have a link with instructions on how to turn your barley crusher from a hand crank to motorized (with a drill)?

I bought mine straight from the manufacture, $132 shipped to my house. Thats only $2 more then https://www.rebelbre...-lb-Hopper.html, to me 2 bucks is not worth the possible headaches.

I don't know of a link, but all you have to do is take the hand crank off, put your drill on and tighten your chuck just like you would with any other drill bit. Pretty simple. You can tear through 12 pounds of grain VERY quickly (i.e. in less than 2 minutes). Unless you are talking about a permanent motor, then I don't know how to do it with the BC.

Bought direct myself.Very easy to make a bigger hopper too, bought two 1/4 sheets of luan plywood and made cardboard templates of the existing sides and cut and glued , took about 2 hours and now I can dump 40lbs if needed into the hopper.Next task I did was to motorize mine , now I dump in grain and walk away doing other tasks until I hear the sound change.I also decided that if I was to take up floor space I might as well make storage , so the base stores almost 3 full bags of grain.

As an engineer I build from my "visions".I could easily work up a basic set of with pics to help

I sell mine for $131.98 shipped to anywhere in the lower 48. I buy mine directly from BC Products, and it comes completely assemblied, apart from screwing the handle on. LinkThe advantage is if you need anything else the shipping is already included in the price.

[Sidney Porter]

if you buy 4 or more you can get the wholesale price (I think). I don't know the rules to be a wholesaler etc, but could be a group buty for the forum.I already have one, which I purchased from my LHBS. When I wanted a barley crusher I went to them to order me one and they ended up needing to ordering 4. They charge me a similar price as ordering online with shipping. (I get 10% off at my LHBS from belonging to a local club).

I took your advice today , had been thinking of it all week now . Bought the larger holding grain model, glad i can buy american products. $155.50 to the door , i am happy with that. Now i can retire my corona mill for the specialty grains.
