Picked this up last time I was in the Nashville area. All I can say is....damn. Compared to other mill's it has a good bit more weight and heft and solid, clean construction. My first crush was perfect without having to make any adjustments.

I have now done 3 batches using this mill after previously having everything done at my LHBS. My efficiency shot up to about 81%! Great crush at factory settings, the hull comes out looking feathery and just perfect. I can't say enough good things, this was a great purchase and is sturdy as a horse.

Got mine with in 24 hours of placing my order! WOW! This thing could crush rocks! It is friggen stout, ran 29 lbs through for an Imperial IPA @ factory setting and had a perfect crush!!! I will post pics on HBT soon! If you are looking to finally upgrade your mill look no further, this thing will make you smile!!!

The mill works extremely well. The top even has pre-drilled holes so you can attach a bigger hopper.
Rebel would you please design a gauge that would make it easier to set the head space on the mill?
** NOTE: we use a feeler gauge to double check factory settings (available at most automotive parts stores) and I have heard of people using an old credit card to set gap. I've never done that.

The mill is simply fantastic. With the preset mill gap, we were able to easily get our efficiency up to 75%+. Easily the best thing to add to your brewery to boost your capabilities. Get your grains from your LHBS and then mill them on your own Rebel Grain Mill. It's a no brainer.

What else can I say about my first grain crusher? Does exactly what it says. Hooked up a cheap big drill from the local Chinese crap tools importer and away we went. Even with a cheap drill, took out 15 lbs of grain with no slowing down. Already the crush looks better than what I've been getting in the mail. Heavy, durable, and reliable, just like a grain mill should be.

Works well. I enjoy how it fits on top of an "ale pale." It seems VERY durable, the only problem is it doens't come with a crank.
I went to use my drill to crush these grains and found my battery didnt' have enough juice to crank it. My neighbor's drill was too weak and was burning up trying to crank the mill.
Unfortunately the dowel/shaft you attach your drill to doesn't stick out past the wooden bottom so I was unable to use my vice grips as a traditional crank - had to grip the crank straight on and turn it with very little leverage.
My forearms are incredibly sore, today, after spending 45 minutes grinding 13 lbs of grains....

This is a beast of a piece of equipment. It has all of the amazing features mentioned above. Some things that are not mentioned but are awesome:
The lip in the last picture fits perfectly to the top of a bucket creating a good seal. The weight of the mill will hold it in place. Especially once it has the grains in it.
The crank rod fits a regular drill with a maximum of 3/8" chuck. You do not need the larger 1/2" chuck to make it fit.
The gap adjustment comes with a notch on the knobs and on the base of the mill so that if you adjust the mill gapping and want to go back to the factory .027" you can set it back with ease.
I was using a friends Victoria corona style mill and was hitting 80-85% eff with my process. I've made one beer with this so far and hit 80% still so it has a great crush on it.
Overall there are a lot of awesome features to love about this mill. Buy one!

Wow, what a great product. I'm told I was the first to purchase this bad boy so consider me a guinea pig. I've never owned a mill before but I can't imagine one machined quite like this. Runs like a champ with my two-speed Dewalt drill motor and produced a beautiful crush. I got north of 75% efficiency for the first time. Very pleased!
