Ok the verdict. I ended up with 8.8L @65% from 60kg of grain. Down a bit on the 13.2L you get. 33% loss.
Flavour was good, i know its got a tonne of corn but i was surprised how much the corn flavour actually comes over.

Nothing wrong with the smaller set up, just depends how often you want to do corn, the 10c a kg extra for cracked isnt really a killer at the end of the day, one small thing that comes to mind though is that the avigrain whole corn that im getting seems very much fresher than any cracked corn ive seen.
I let mine run reasonably slow and can do stuff while it munches, on my huge list of projects is to try a bigger hopper and a set up so that it feeds straight into the top of the fermenter while mashing
It only has to do 2.8 tons of corn to pay for itself :think: :)) hopefully im young enough to pull that one off, might take a while though :cool:
I borrowed a mates 2 roller mill to start my sweet feed mash but i also picked up the same mill as you $220 shipped syd to bris on fleabay. Hasn't arrived yet.
