There are loads of articles online about home flour mills, comparing designs. Etc. However; there seems to be a lack of information about cleaning wheat on a small scale, beyond a few tinkers, and machines that clean tons of grain per hour.
Is there a small, inexpensive, UN-labour intensive device for cleaning grain, specifically wheat, at home?
I've never used a mill but I receive a new Komo Classic yesterday. I expected it to hum quietly when turned on without grain but it buzzes fairly loudly. And when grinding its quite loud. Is this right?
Much thanks for any help.
I'm looking for a new discussion on a very old topic here - and maybe I haven't covered all the threads to find the answer, apologies if the answer is floating in the site somewhere. I even asked a similar question a while back, but for a different purpose.
I'm ready to try grinding wheatberries into flour for the first time. I bought the KitchenAid Grainmill. I know it's not everyone's first choice, but I did a lot of research and to start me out it's what I picked, I have the 7 quart heavy duty KitchenAid.
I have 5 pounds each of soft/hard white wheat berries, Palouse brand.
I will be using the flour in Tartine recipes, probably basic country while and perhaps a more whole grain wheat from Tartine 3. I also bought a sieve to turn some of the grind into "high extraction".
So:
This is a hand mill with granite stone. Does anyone have any experience of it?
I'm trying to decide between the NutriMill and the WonderMill. I read a post here that indicated that WonderMill isn't suited to milling amaranth. But I noticed an attachment for the WonderMill for use with amaranth. Opinions, experiences, advice, etc. appreciated.
Confused or possibly just senile, but definitely in need of help,
