Since so many people have asked me about making my hard cider (Mike-In-Cider), I decided to put a link on the website.  In the link below, I list out the ingredients as well as the entire process for making it. Enjoy!

My New Monster Mill (MM-2)

4-18-2012

After many years of service, my Barley Crusher just wasn't milling my grain like it used to.  I kept having to widen the gap in order to mill grain, so I decided to start looking at new mills.  After weighing several options, I decided to go with an MM-2 from Monster Mills.  So far, it has been working great.  I saw about a 10% increase in my efficiency with the new mill.  It's built like a tank and tears through grain.  The only word of warning is to be sure you have a beefy drill to drive the mill.  After a few times of milling with my cheap Black & Decker corded 3/8" drill, the motor in the drill gave out.  I've got a more powerful 1/2" drill on the way now, so hopefully it will hold up a little better.
