Good Grain Mill

I have a viking 7qt mixer and was going to get the grain mill attachment for it.  I wanted to see if anyone has used it and get their feedback.  I have never milled my own flour before but reading some of the posts on here makes me think that Im mising out.  So... A few questions...

1.  Asside from the Viking Mixer Attahcment, what Grain Mills do you recommend?

2.  What kind of grain (wheats, corn etc) is recemmended?

3.  I understand that I need to only mill what I'll be using that day, and that it is a good idea to stroe the unused (milled) grain in the freezer if possible.  Any other things that I sould be aware of, from a storage perspective?

4.  I have found a source for "Golden Wheat" that is charging $9.00 for 50lb.  is this a good deal?  Is  Golden Wheat a soft or hard wheat? 

I know that I'm Nick the new guy here but any input would be appreciated....

 

Thanks,

anyone have food processor attachments for Electrolux Magic Mill?

I have the Electrolux Magic Mill and am in need of a food processor.  Has anyone tried the food processor attachments for it? I've been looking through the attachment list and can't for the life of me figure out what is used for what both in terms of what the individual shredding disks are used for but also how one would go about making something that needs to be more puréed than shredded: hummus or nut butter, for instance.  With a traditional food processor, I'd use the blade attachment, but with this I'm not sure.

Does anyone have these? Can you comment on how useful they are?

Thanks,

Jonathan
