The dust during the milling is a big issue with mills, since I have
the Magmill that is driven by the drill I can generate the dust
quickly. I have went to doing the milling outside on the patio slab to
avoid the contamination in the brewery and because the dust is almost
as bad as drywall sanding dust to clean up after the fact.
Even my old Corona mill generated some dust but the bigger issue there
was capturing all the output that it sort of throws around. Anyone
need a Corona?
From an economics point of view Rick's suggestion
of using the store's
mill is the wy to go but this is a hobby and based on
economics I
wouldn't have all the other equipmemt in the brewery - I would just buy
beer :-)

Just some food for thought. Of course, roller mills are great things to =
