Wondering what machines people are using. We used to mill and cube our own grub for the milkers years ago but all we want to do is kibble(?) or crack the beans for mixing with whole oats. Got a few old roller mills knocking about but don't know if they'll tackle beans with smooth rolls or not.

Thanks.

You'll need a double drive for beans

Or one with a pre roller, I have one with 3 rollers, first will do the beans then that falls onto the main two and gets crushed with the barley. Can't remember the brand though, it's blue with yellow panels
