grain mill
don't suppose anyone here has ever attempted to grind their own flour?
apparently the taste is sensational.
anyone have a grain miller they can recommend?

grain mill
I mill barley for making beer, but not to a powder. Stuck at home looking after sick family and just saw some add on tv saying those gadgets like the nutribullet come with a milling blade so that might be an option. You would get wholemeal flour from it though as it would include the shells etc. and it's not a lot at a time either, but worth a try for some fun
Re: grain mill
You'll find a bunch of us who also dabble in the hobby of beer brewing also own grain mills, but they are specially designed to 'crack' the grains, rather than mill them to a flour consistency.
I believe the 'Marga' brand grain mills can be used to produce flour, but jeez, it's gonna work your biceps.

Re: grain mill
Yes.. well I dump and stir beer brew, but have been interested in all grain brewing for a while, so that would be an added bonus.
There are definitely a few milling options out there.. some are eBay and cheap.. and some are super expensive.

Re: grain mill
Mine is a Monster Mill (v2 if I recall correctly). It's got gnurled rollers, and is adjustable for roller-gap, so might be okay to mill finer things such as flour. I run mine with a hand-held Engineer's drill, as it takes a good amount of torque to crack things like wheat and/or rye.niko123456 wrote: There are definitely a few milling options out there.. some are eBay and cheap.. and some are super expensive.
I got it about 2 years ago, when the $AUD was doing better against the Greenback, but like anything, it's worth buying once, and buying right. They're a solid piece of kit that should last hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of milling.

Re: grain mill
I got given a hand stainless steel burr grinder. It works quite well. It's called a Victorio deluxe hand mill, or something. It is quite affordable on Amazon (at least compared to other options).
I've attempted to bake with 100% whole wheat. It's tough! It changes everything. Results have been pretty hopeless so far, except for the taste which has been quite good.

Would love to get one, but can't justify the price, though the hand mills certainly look a possibility.
