Five Easy Steps to Use a Grain Grinder Mill

When we think about a grain grinder mill most of us think of a grain hand mill.  The reality though is there are a variety of ways to mill grain from hand mill to electric motorized grain mills.  A great example of a manual mill is the victorio hand grain mill.  This is the one we use in our home.  A Wolfgang grain mill is a great example of an electric mill.  Here's what we need to do to be successful. 

1.  Read the manual.  Manual or electric understanding of the prime instructions is fundamental. The makers of the mills will often give hints and ideas for the best results.  Read and follow any set up for the mill.  This is when typically you will do any adjustments to the grinding mechanisms. This is to make your flour courser or finer. 

2.  Pick the work surface.  A manual needs to be clamped to a surface so you can crank it.  A table or a work bench is preferred.  A kitchen counter top can work well if there is an adequate space to turn the crank.   If electric, this can be as simple as plug and play technology.  Most electrics come with non-skid feet.  Make sure so it does not vibrate of the counter. 

3.  Put the grain in.  Deposit the proper amount of grain into the hopper of the unit.  Do not over load.  You can always add more as needed. 

4.  This is where the fun begins.  With a manual grinder it takes people power.  So line up dad and the rest of the crew and begin.   It takes very little time to grind a cup or two of flour.  If you need more at a time, like making bread, start a little ahead of time and still try to do the grinding the day of use for maximum freshness.  Just plug in and turn on an electric.  Let the milling begin.

5.  When starting, check the grind of the flour.  This is when an adjustment of the grinder may be needed.  With a manual mill if the flour is not fine enough, the option of regrinding  is available. 

Well you are good to go.  Become your own private flour mill and notice the difference in your bread baking and all other applications for your fresh flour needs.  May you experience many loaves of fresh hot buttered bread and smiling faces.
