Yes, unfortunately only a fraction of that grain will remain with me.JK are all those grain bags yours or are you having to disseminate those to other fellow brewers? I thought I was buying a lot when I got 7 bags although I am itching to get more soon as well. I hear those angels calling.

Or, just add them. No need to get rid of the midgets.Yes, I also would substitute 25 bags of malt for the midgets in my happy place.

Sweet, sweet grainsAwesome JK, That is sweet. Heck just seeing that pic made me salivate. I hope my brewclub will wanna do a bulk grain buy soon. I am ready to stock up again on some more grains as well. Its a sweet smell those grains I tell ya. I think I made one heck of a fine Kolsch using Best Malz Pils, we will see when it gets on tap.

I was thinking of just seeing how hard it was but I have a cordless drill I can use when my arm gets tired. I was thinking I'd probably mill out on the deck when weather permits - otherwise I'm not sure...I'm sure you know this but:1) find a a drill or be ready to sweat2) I hope that's not your milling location

What's wrong with the cordless? I have a pretty beefy (aka heavy) makita cordless.It's not impossible, just a work out. I eventually bought a corded drill largely for this purpose.

Do you think the efficiency gain was due to the double run through the mill or the just the drill alone?I have the BC and I have hand crushed my grain bills for almost a year. I have always kept it at factory setting for the gap too. I was having an efficiency of around 75%. The last three beers I have brewed I have crushed the grain bill once by hand followed by a fast run through again with the cordless drill. Efficiency shot up to around 80=82%. If you use the drill its great you just put it in and pull the trigger. It can't get any easier than that.
