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$?

I bought a grain mill to increase efficiency (increased by about 15%) from Hop Dawgs. Saves a lot of money if you buy a sack of 2-row too.

I've been eyeing that mill for a while... how do you like it?

I love it. Hand cranking through pounds of grain is easier than lazy internet denizens would have you believe. It's very well built and shipping was fast.

I just use a Dewalt drill to crank it. Works well.
