How fine to mill
Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2014 12:36 am
I just mangled my $12 aldi pasta machine I was probably never going to use again into an el cheap grain mill.
is this fine enough ? some whole wheat placed next to it for a size comparison.
if so, i will make a hopper up for it, its not a long turn solution, just want to try grain before lashing out for the proper gear.
credit where its due .. idea from this guys video .. aldi machine is basically identical except the gears are threaded onto the rods, the rods are an SS pipe of a little over a mm wall thickness so my first grooves are fairly shallow but seems to do the job fairly well until only a few grains are left.
