One quick observation on grinding grain with the Monster Mill, or any mill driven with a drill. Yeah, it's fun to watch the grain as it falls into the rollers. Don't watch that, keep you eye on the drill connection to the grind shaft. Mine started slipping, slightly stripping the shaft. As it turns out, I needed to tighten the connection with the drill chuck key after every minute or so of grain crushing. Make sure that connection doesn't come loose and save yourself a lot of potential trouble. Carefully follow the mill's directions about alining the fingers of the drill chuck to the three flats machined onto the shaft.
