This old school malt mill would grind 200 pound of malt per minute

This Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company Malt Mill operated in the Stevens Point Brewery since the 1950's until the new operations manager Gabe Hopkins decided to stop operating the contraption after purchasing a new type of micro brewery milling machine system that was installed in the garage of the brewery. Out with the old, in with the new(half of the machine grinding capacity of the old unit). Oh well, another bad management mistake by Gabe. The brewery workers were so glad when Gabe got fired for mismanaging the brewery. History in the making!
