AMA Mill Review

[Fletching]

After burning through the last drill on my modified Corona mill, the Mrs. surprised me with the AMA Electric Grain Mill from Agristore. Man, this thing is awesome!

It came with 4 different sized sieves shown below. The one circled was the one that produced the size I like working with, with room for other preferences.

Starting with whole corn, it took 18 minutes for me to grind through 50 lbs of corn at the touch of a button. I had to feed the funnel at the top a few times, but that gave me some time to dig out a few of the twigs/cobs/etc.

Overall, this mill definitely seems to live up to the hype. Thanks for the previous recommendations on here.

The bucket it's on will hold 50# of milled corn?

An excellent gift then!

Congrats on the new mill, Fletching. The consistency sure does make life (and your arm muscles) easier. And, you owe the Missus a good stiff... drink.

I have a different mill than yours, but I figured out I preferred the screen with the bigger holes. The finer grind (what yours looks like) gels and converts up super quick, but takes forever to clear. The larger corn grist from the bigger holes gels almost as quick but squeezes out with much less 'fines'. If you distill on grain and/or strip your fermented wash cloudy, ignore the heads up.

Nice Mill! #jealous

Yes, the bottom container held all 50# of milled corn and had some space left.

Unfortunately, the top funnel only holds 20# or so of whole corn, so you do have to fill it a few separate times.

That sure does seem like the appropriate thanks!

And good to know. I am trying to refill one of my Gibbs barrels soon, so I will have to try out the screen with the bigger holes on a few of the mashes and see how she fares. Thanks for the info!
