I am thinking of stocking up with wheat but I haven't got a grinder. I was wondering (in my ignorance of this matter) if you could use a coffee grinder or mince grinder?
I am guessing not, and will be laughed at by the more knowledgable members.
If not, what cheap reliable wheat grinder would people recommend?
Good idea Bladerunner, Im thinking of the same myself, as Im prepping for a time/situation where there may not be electric I think a hand held one is best even though the electric ones are 'better'
You can also sprout the wheat and put through a meat grinder and then slow cook/dehyrate to make sprouted wheat bread..
I have used a coffee grinder to good effect and have recently bought the Lakeland grain mill which was remaindered, thus cheap. I think they have stopped selling it now:
Both are very, very hard work. It takes a long time to produce anything like a useful amount.
People in the US swear by the "Country Living" mill, especially fitted with a decent heavy fly wheel and motor (both made from spare parts I am afraid)
Has anyone thought of setting up the old quern stone arrangement? Not being funny, but up this way you see them all over the place as garden ornaments or in tourist museums! Worked for folks in the past and has the benefit of not needing power.
I'm looking for a grain mill too, but I haven"t had much luck
