Title: Grain Milling
Post by: ngavin2001 on September 24, 2014, 09:11:36 PM
Has anyone got any ideas on how to mill grain without a grain Miller or is it possible? Don't fancy getting the rolling pin it looks like it would take a while!

Rolling pin would be a disaster. You'd end up with a mixture of under crushed and over crushed grain. Poor efficiency or stuck sparge is all you'd get. Grain mill is the only way. Beg, borrow or steal! :)

yeah, the rolling pin is only practical for a few hundred grand of steeping grain.
I'm sure someone will help you out and let you use their mill if you post it up in your local club's section.

Grams I'm sure...
Your rolling pin will become pitted and show in every cookie you ever make!
