Nutrimill in Hospital

Alas, I did my Nutrimill in last week.  Temporarily, I hope.  And not too expensively, I hope.


I had just finished milling a pound of hard wheat.  I emptied the bin and put in a pound of soft wheat, which was apparently not entirely clean.  I walked away and came back a couple of times and noticed that it did not seem to be progressing.  Eventually I noticed some little black bits around the base.  The machine was running but not milling.  I dumped out the grains and found a couple of small black balls, BB size, not particularly hard (it seemed to me), but like something that was burnt.  That must have been the problem, but I don't know why.  (I do know that I will be more vigilant in the future.)


Word came today from Kitchen Resource that they had received my module and hope to return it in a few days.  I miss it already.  The soft wheat can be milled in my Back to Basics hand-crank mill, but the hard wheat is too hard.
