Country Living vs. Wonder Jr grain mills?
Even thought I bought my grain mill last summer, I find that I'm still a geek about these things. It's fun to visit websites, check Youtube and eBay to see what's out there and follow changes, etc.

I am looking into buying a mill (I dont currently own one) and have been doing some research. Frankly, I"m torn. I have read a lot about the Retsel, and am impressed by the durability, manual options, and flexibility of this grinder. I also like that I won't have to triple check my grains for stones. The price is considerable but I'm not sure if it really is worth the pros. My other consideration is the nutrimill. I'm rather stingy with money so I really want it to be well spent if I'm going to lay down that kind of cash. What are your opinions?
Anyone have a good online source for whole corn? I've tried Pleasant Hill and Wheat Montana. Amazon has some 25 pound bags for $400+, which makes me think that the corn has been gold plated first...
I tried popcorn, but it's too wet (Retsel w/ steel wheels).
Thanks!

It only took 3 months! /rolleyes
Just ran a quart of hard white wheat through it, I'll do another quarter before I start using the flour.
It did let me establish that my finest seive is almost a perfect 85% extraction when I need 'white' flour.
