Stupid question.... are the grains from the malt miller already ground and ready to go?

Just send Rob a note with your order and he will crush them for you. Not everyone wants their grain crushed so you need to let him know.

He'll also do a fine crush for BIAB if you ask.
Sorry to pull up an old thread but my question leads on a bit from this. I’m just putting on a BIAB Speckled hen clone from malt miller so I ordered the fine crush. However, it just occurred to me, does the finer crush mean I need to alter the mash times or temperature at all?

No.
I order mine uncrushed, but mill it to what might be considered "fine crush" because that 's what works for me. Fine crush can give better extraction efficiency, or it might just set solid into a "stuck mash". You generally get "normal" crush and only try "fine" crush if normal isn't getting what you expect, but for BIAB "fine" crush is usually specified. I'm using what might be considered "fine" with very free draining false bottoms (a Grainfather for one).
It's all arbitrary; after all what is "fine"?

Ok thank you. I’ll just mash as per the instructions.
This is only my second AG and first time I’d ordered fine crush. Did notice a lot more dough balls this time!
