New Toys!

Crushing grains has always been a problem. I could either have the store crush the grains before shipping them, leaving me to the whims of the warehouse monkeys or could try to crush them myself using a ziplock bag and a rolling pin. Neither of these were particularly appealing and in neither case was I assured a good crush. The results from the warehouse were mixed and the rolling pin method tended to leave me with half whole grains and half flour.

So I ordered this bad boy. The Barley Crusher! (http://www.barleycrusher.com) Shipped out today. Can be either hand cranked or driven with a 3/8" drill. As I start making the move to all grain brewing this will come in quite handy.
