Yeah but I have a pretty extensive process and go through a lot of effort to get every last drop out of my malt, keep that in mind as well. 86% isn't impossible, specially with a finer crush, it's just slightly uncommon.

I believe you, just FYI.
I’ve read your process and I think you’ve read mine. My sparging seems to work well, I’ll take a runoff gravity next time. I’m sure the finer crush makes a fair difference too. I’ll have to wait for my next brew (probably a pale ale) to see if I can repeat it. The drawback with my mill is that I take it apart to clean it after use and there’s no way of getting exactly the same crush next time. I’ll just make it quite fine again.
Make marks with a permanent marker along the edges of screws and plates that you take apart when cleaning. Getting a consistent crush is quite important. In fact, I wouldn't even clean the mill between uses just to keep the crush consistent.

It’s still very green and not properly carbonated but it sure is tasty. One of my favourite brews to date. And cheap considering no speciality malts and a moderate amount of hops. I’ll definitely brew this recipe again.
Now you can do the same SMaSH recipe by just substituting the hops with something else with the same IBU per hop addition. That's what I did when I started AG brewing. To this day SMaSH brews are still my favourite

I bought cascade in bulk but I have a few other varieties in the freezer. I’ll see if there’s anything that matches.

It doesn't have to match ....
ANY hop will work ... even if the AA% is higher or lower than Cascade .... That's why I said, you change the amount of hops to match the IBU of the original message

I have with Biab, got it on black friday for R350. Google corona junk mod for some mods to help it work better. If its close too 1K rather just spend the extra and get a proper roller mill.

It works fine for my purposes
Thats a really really good price.
It is R1k but I feel my requirement is also quite small. I'm currently doing 5kg batches max.
The roller mills are so expensive and the ROI is mainly petrol and time to pick up ingredients which comes in at 20 batches. I'm not so keen to stretch it to 50
Are you hand cranking it? How long does it take you?
Fair enough at the 1k I would try and push for the 2k odd for a roller mill, but I get getting started is expensive.
I threaded a bolt and run it via n shitty 12v drill it over heats on the second fill of the hopper, I then hand crank takes about 20mins all done. I crush between 7-9kg grains.
Its pretty quick and the crush is nice and fine.
Fyi the main ROI for me is consistency of crush which translates to consistency in my recipe.
