As I don't have a Corona mill or malt mill I'm wondering how fine a crush I can get away with. The only thing available at home is one of those "Magic Bullet" food processors. I've used it before to pulverize steeping grains but I'm thinking maybe I need to be a bit more serious about preparation of grains for mashing. I'll be using 2.25kg of Marris Otter, 250gr Crystal 70L and 250gr brown sugar or Lyle's golden syrup for a brew length of about 9.5 litres. Going to try for something close to an ESB
Is pulverizing the grains 'til pretty fine and floury going to be inadvisable? Being as it's BIAB I'm thinking I don't need to worry about a stuck lauter or sparge so I could get away with going as fine as is possible with the food processor/blender, and generally one of the keys to decent efficiency with traditional mashing is ensuring a good, even, crush, isn't it?

The bag I'm using is a really fine mesh. Could one reason for not going too fine be because it contributes to having a lot more material in the wort which will end up as cold break and increase trub volume?
Any opinions or advice gratefully accepted.
