I recently boiught a new mill, auger and grist case set up from Radd, a Canadian company. I have been installing the equipment which consists of a rigid auger from the mill to the grist case, and then a flex auger from the grist case to the mash tun.
The rigid auger is made up of a galvanized tube with a steel auger inside. the auger is very rusty and clearly will contaminate the grain. My question is has anyone encountered this problem, and how have you dealt with it. I am thinking about having the auger sand blasted and coating with an anti rusting paint. The auger is abviously used for animal feed aplications and I am wondering if using this type of auger set up will lead to problems in the long run. Should I get a flex auger set up for the run from the mill to the grist case?
Does anyone else use a galvanized and steel auger set up?
