<p> Perhaps not surprisingly, the Marathon Electric motor eventually overheated and blew out since running a 220V motor at 110V isn't very good for it.&nbsp; I replaced it (not long after I posted this originally in 2012) with a Leeson 1HP motor and it's not had any problems in years of use since.&nbsp; I still only produce about 30-40 lbs per year, so this is still very much hobby scale.&nbsp; Also since posting, I've tried it with rye and barley.&nbsp; Both work great, except for barley you would need another machine to actually remove the husks from the grain.&nbsp; I instead malted and fermented the barley.</p>
