I watched the first video, then this one. I'm buying one! I will be grinding corn and oats for my old horses who can't chew any more. Senior horse feed is too expensive and contains too much wheat chaff and soy. Thank you SO much for helping me decide!

[@jeremeyweeks7409]

I recommend a magnet near your output to catch any metal shavings

[@dougcrump5740]

I forgot, try an small diameter O-ring to make the seal. it can be bought in a rope style, cut to length and super glued together to make a custom o-ring. eliminates RTV and the mess.

[@StillnTheClear]

Thanks for the tip.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

we all learn from each other thanks for video

[@StillnTheClear]

For sure.

I was lucky enough that my neighbor had a 1907 Hobart 1/4 horse coffee grinder that is awesome that thing would grind a car up I use a 5gallin bucket screen over the top to mitigate the dust from the bucket

[@user-ts7le4hq8b]

Nice gasket hack, thanks for the video

[@StillnTheClear]

You bet. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@dougcrump5740]

Hydrotex in NC can help with food grade lubricants. Ask for Kelly Nash.

[@abrad3061]

So at my local brew shop they have their's in a cabinet with a door and you open the door to pull the bucket out with the your ground grains keeps all the dust contained

[@jayfromtexas6718]

Man! I'm excited! Just stumbled across your site. Bought a still a couple of years ago and it's still(see how I did that?)😂 in the box. Looks like with it. I think that's the grinder for me. Appreciate your help!

[@EpicValleysStill]

That gasket made a huge difference. Milling is a dusty job but you shouldnt be loosing that much when you grind. Couple more sugar runs and ima pick that bad boy up. Thank you yet again brother.

[@jimwhipple9784]

I've got the same mill except mine came with a switch. Great mill. Imma going to do the RTV fix too. I'm also thinking about Fabing a curtain for the bucket to keep dust down too. Should be pretty easy

[@5x535]

Well done!

[@pooppy87]

Excellent!

[@abculattera4446]

A few things;
First, some quick googling showed that yo can actually use vaseline as a food-safe machine lubricant, provided that it doesn't get so hot that the vaseline melts. If you're really desperate, you can also use cooking oil, though I would imagine that would run even easier than the vaseline. Still, could be a good backup to know about if you ever run out of the good lubricant.
Second, would you be willing to try running wet grains through the mill, or have you heard of other people doing so successfully? I'm interested in making nixtamal for food regularly. The victoria mill + electric drill seems like it'll be perfectly adequate for my needs for now, though if I ever want a proper electric setup it would be nice to know that these are an option. It'd be especially nice to know for if I see an opportunity for regularly selling homemade tamales or tortillas.

Good job! Great video.

[@StillnTheClear]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

[@bullithedjames937]

Neat

[@StillnTheClear]

Thank you

[@shadow-dx8gg]

Hello Sir,
Can i grind sugar with this machine?

[@caintfindme4735]

I enjoy making a good batch, but im tired of buying ice for the worm. It gets expensive.

[@cbrewis]

do you have any tip on cleaning the machine?

[@StillnTheClear]

I just spray mine with an air compressor after each use.
