I am having trouble finding both rye and ww flour of a sufficiently fine mill.  I'm considering buying a mill for this purpose.  Does anyone know if the KitchenAid attachment is sufficient?  The information on their web-site is a bit vague on this point.  For stand alone mills, how much do they tend to weigh and what sort of price are they?  I am having no luck finding one for domestic use in Australia and may need to order from the States.

It's a family tradition of ours at Christmas to make poppy seed cake - kind of like a sweet bread dough with poppy seed paste spread on it which is then rolled up like a swiss roll and baked.  Mum has always done it in the past, but I'm trying to take it on now.

I need to figure out how to grind the poppy seed though.  Last year I tried making the paste with unground poppy seed, and it just wasn't right.  I have a Champion Juicer, with the grainmill attachment which I use for grinding wheat for my flour, and I was wondering how it might go with Poppy Seed.

I've posted this elsewhere, but now that there is a specific forum, I will try again.

I have one of the hand cranked corona mills that I use for cracking grains for breads and for my daughter's porridge. However, I can't get the flour fine enough to any traditional breads. Have any of you been able to use these crude mills for anything resembling the bread we bake from store-ground flour?

Storage bucket capacity is given in gallons. Grain is purchased per pound.

QUESTION: How many pounds of grain will a one gallon container hold? Thanks.

Hi y'all,

For Christmas last year I received a KitchenAid grinder attachment, which I haven't used yet. I am a single person and have an older frig w/freezer on top. I understand that ground grain goes rancid quickly. I only want to purchase minimum amts. to grind because I can't put too many 5# sacks in the freezer.

I use old-fashioned oats, as is, for oatmeal breads. The local health food store carries a large line of Bob's Red Mill products in 24 ocs. pkgs. I have a pkg. of Bob's Red Mill steel-cut oats in the freezer, unused.

Maps of the US showing the major wheat growing regions. For those of us who must mail order, at least it can explain those shipping costs.

Every map has a link immediately below if you need to see it in a larger size.

As I am geographically challenged, I start with a basic US map that shows the states with their names.

Since Floyd was kind enough to give us a forum to discuss grain milling, let's continue the discussion!

I am very new to milling, having purchased a Nutrimill grain mill about a month ago.  My experience thus far:
