MILL BROKE DOWN THIS MORNING (10/12)

Hey everyone, I was halfway through my mill when the mill stopped working.  Sorry everyone.  I wish I knew how to fix small engines, but I don't.  I've already contacted the mad scientist Lucas personally and am waiting to hear what he thinks.  This is just a heads up to people looking to brew this weekend or later this week.  You'll want to consider milling before coming.

Update, we removed the mill

Update, we removed the mill from the motor.  The mill can still be used manually with the drill.

I imagine the plastic spacer in the fitting we use wore out. Lucas, can you check that when you are there next?  Thanks,

James

While we are fixing this we

While we are fixing this we should add silicone around the part that slowly drops grain due to the weigh of the hopper.  Especially if it is already removed from the cabinet.

I think this is the gearbox but we need to get it off and check.
