I use my shop vac to clean up the bottom of the board it's mounted on.  Since I'm already there and the vac is running I do a quick pass through the hopper to get any big stuff. 

If the static didn't cause a bunch of chaff and dust to stick to the board above the bucket I wouldn't even do that much.  Humidity in Iowa (and many other places) can go from 15% to 95% in a few hours several months of the year.  I don't want to have dust clumping everywhere in the shop so I vacuum, a lot.

I blow mine out with an air nozzle attached to my co2 tank. I don't go crazy with it.

This is awesome.  Was just going to post this question as I used my new barley crusher for the first time today.

I'll blow it off outside and stick it on a shelf.

Note to self - crush the grains outdoors, not indoors near the child with allergies and asthma.

How are you cleaning your mill and/or hopper?

How often do you do so?
I don't understand what your words mean.  ;)
