I got a Family Grain Mill!

[The Porch]

Our manual Grainmaker 99 takes 15-20 minutes to grind a couple of cups of flour from whole red wheat. https://grainmaker.com/products/grainmaker-grain-mill-model-no-99/

That is a much better one, I like it very much, mine we bought 30 years ago

Have you tried running it with a drill? This is one of my deciding factors. I've had shoulder surgery, and hubby is headed in that direction. So, we will hand crank when needed. But, I have a Ryobi drill with multiple re-chargeable batteries. That should make it super easy for us. When I have some spare $$, I expect I'll buy an extra set of stones/burrs, and the other "wear out" parts.

No I haven used a drill , but it would be good to try out.

I love my Family Grain Mill. I don’t use it often enough, I have some Painted Mountain corn I need to grind. Got more almost ready to harvest out in the garden.

Congratulations! We have the same one and love it

Well, the oven was delivered yesterday afternoon and is being installed now. Naturally the hole in the cabinet is not the same size for the new oven, so adjustments must be made. I don't care at this point, if it is propped up on a barstool, just wire it up and let me get to cookin' !!!!

Stinks you had to buy a new one, and especially right after getting a new toy!!! Hope you get it sorted and get to mill to your hearts content

Thanks for the link! I think I've been there before looking and drooling! But I make Amazon money online and I'd have to switch to paypal for that site. but it might be worth it.. I saw that they had a meat grinder that could be used with the adapter too..

I have the hand crank mill, plus the Kitchen Aide adapter; have had them for a couple of years, and am very happy with the way it works. I hesitated for a long while, as DH has never been terribly fond of my homemade whole wheat bread. Turns out it was the flour from the market, and not my bread at all! Freshly ground hard white wheat is something else entirely from even the better wh. wheat, already ground flour. I also have soft white wheat berries, as well as spelt, rye, and corn. Be aware that the Family Grain Mill instructions say not to grind popcorn, as it is too hard; but regular field corn is fine.
