Came across this website, http://www.GrindWheat.com.  Looked like a great site for the Country Living Grain Mill.  Anybody hae any bad experiences with an online store?

I've recently noticed a new (well, new to me) manual grain mill on the market made in the USA and available from www.grainmaker.com. It's design is very similar to The Country Living grain mill (I would characterize the Country Living grain mill as a high-end, well made mill).

And it has an unusual grove pattern in the milling plates

Anyone have any experience with this brand? I'm especially interested in how well the grinding plates fit together (the mark of a superior mill).

Hi-

I was wondering if any of you have had experiences with any of the German home grain mills, such as the Schnitzer, Wolfgang or Eschenfelder (Hawo)? I've been using a motorized Country Living mill, but I'm looking for a faster mill. I've tried the Nurtrimill, and it's good for large quantities, but it doesn't go quite as fine as the Country Living mill. The German mills look interesting, but wonder if they'll mill as fine as the Country Living mill. Thanks...

to those of you who own and use the Nutrimill grain mill I have a QUESTION...

How often do you use the low speed (for coarse milling) when milling flour for bread? Or do you mainly use the high speed and just vary the fineness of the grind?

Nutrimill has a one-speed model out that only mills on high. Cost is $200 flat (no additional shipping costs!). I mainly want to mill finer flours (equivalent in feel to a commercial equivalents) for bread baking. I have a Kitchen Aid grain mill attachment, which I can always use if I want to mill a coarse flour or crack grain.

I'm so excited to get my new Nutrimill grain mill!  I already have a few batches of flour undergoing their slight aging (thanks Cliff Johnson for all the info!) and I'm excited about all the new flours I'll get to make that I could never find in my local stores.  I have one question: can I use it to turn my semolina flour into the finer grained durum?  My understanding of the relationship between these two flours is correct, no?  And will putting semolina flour in clog my machine?  Thanks for your help!
