The Cereal Killer can be easily assembled in minutes using nothing more
than a few hand tools.
For perfectly milled grains, ease of use, and superior dependability, look no
further than The Cereal Killer grain mill. Our two roller mill takes the
guesswork out of achieving the ideal crush for your brewery. The Cereal Killer
grain mill features a fully adjustable roller gap from 0.025” all the way to
0.1”, allowing you to finely tune your crush to your exact preference.
Features include sealed bearings (not bushings), a 7 lb capacity grain hopper,
and a crank handle, and comes complete with a sturdy base that fits perfectly
on any standard 5 or 6.5-gallon plastic bucket.

SETTING THE ROLLER GAP & USAGE
The Cereal Killer has an adjustable roller to set the proper gap for milling
various types of malt.
|
---|---
To set the gap, loosen the eye/thumb bolts that secure the non-driven roller
on the back of the mill.| On the sides of the mill, turn the knurled knobs
clockwise to widen or counterclockwise to narrow the roller gap. The range is
from 0.025”
to 0.1”. We recommend setting it between the 0.025” and 0.05” marks to begin
with.
Once the rollers are set to your liking, re-tighten the eye/thumb bolts to secure the roller.
ASSEMBLY
| STEP 1
Using the 12 provided sets of small nuts and bolts, assemble the hopper. Be
sure that the larger front and back plates of the hopper are on the outside,
so the flanged side plates are on the inside.
---|---
| STEP 2
Install small bolts from the outside, and hand threads the nuts on the inside.
Tighten with a screwdriver and small wrench.
| STEP 3
Slide rubber rim over the top of the hopper walls to attach. (It is slightly
rectangular and will only fit in one orientation)
| STEP 4
Loosen the nuts and bolts above the roller main mill body, and insert the
hopper making sure the slots in the hopper fit around the bolts. Tighten bolts
with a screwdriver and wrench.
| STEP 5
Flip the entire assembly upside down to install the mill base, making sure the
bent tabs of the base are facing up, and the smaller tab is oriented to the
side of the mill with the drive shaft.
Align holes and install mounting bolts with an Allen key. Firmly tighten.
| STEP 6
Flip the mill back over, slide the crank handle over the drive shaft, and snug
it with a screwdriver.
| STEP 7
Set mill onto bucket and you are ready to mill!
GET CRUSHING TIPS & TRICKS FOR THE PERFECT GRIST
SPEED MATTERS
To operate, either hand-crank or use a power drill. We recommend a corded
drill with a 3/8” chuck minimum and low-RPM capability. Attach drill to the
drive shaft and use at low speed, 300 RPM is ideal.
HUSKS ARE KEY
Grains without a husk (i.e. rye and wheat) need a finer crush. Take advantage
of your knobs and tighten up that gap to get the perfect crush.
FRESH IS THE BEST
The Cereal Killer enables you to crush grains right before brewing. The
freshest beer is made with freshly milled grain. Keep all un-crushed grain
tightly sealed in a food-safe container until the next brew day.
