It seems the general consensus is for a 1.2mm gap for the BM
I used to have a Corona mill too as there was no cheap alternative when I started brewing. It is not ideal, but it works too.

Hi Dicko,
1.2mm / 0.048'' is considered a large gap in a grain mill, right?
Is it necessary to have a large gap for the BM? To avoid wort fountains and circulation problems?I used to have a Corona mill too as there was no cheap alternative when I started brewing. It is not ideal, but it works too.
Hi Niels,
I have a corona too. How did you used to fine tune the mill?

(are there some women brewers amongst us?)
Have any of you opinions using a KitchenAid mixer to power their grain mill attachment? I do not yet own a mill although we have a powerful and underused mixer.

I haven't yet milled grain, is it unpleasant or time consuming to mill 5 0r 6 kilos?
Thanks,
tom

Also, does the KA have enough torque to do the grinding with a full load of grain.. or do you have to gently feed it?
Thanks, Bill

Cranking the mills by hand is doable with only 5~6 kilos of grain, but with most of the mills it is easy to connect a hand drill.
