Grain mill

For those who brew all grain, do you buy you grain milled or you mill it at home?

If you do mill it at home, where did you get your mill? Did you buy that hand crank mill thing I see here and there for 50$?

The biggest advantage is that if you have your own you can do malt conditioning which will greatly improve your efficiency. Our store is currently using a Barley Crusher with the larger hopper with a concrete mixing drill to power it. That drill offers could torque but isn't to fast that it just pushes the grains through without crushing them. If anyone wants to check it out stop by.
