Cleaning wheat.

March 20, 2014 - 4:02pm -- clearlyanidiot

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?

First time grind - couple questions

March 10, 2014 - 12:38pm -- TomSoCal

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".

NutriMill or WonderMill

March 5, 2014 - 9:56am -- lew_c

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,
