Just been in the shed looking at the pile of Malted barley Ive acquired and pondering what to do with it.
Ive had an old hand operated Enterprise Grain Grinder buried up the back of the shed for ages and thought Id drag it out and see if it still worked. Bought it cheap at an auction ages ago then sort of forgot about it.
It looks just like this one except mines brown ( Rust) :(
Anyway the old girl seems to work pretty well ....I chucked in a few hand fulls of corn and some wheat I had laying around for UJSM and it came out ground to about the same consistency of some malted barley that I bought from 5Star.
Questions
A is it worth grinding all grains before adding them to washes??? Im presuming ground up corn and wheat have to add more flavour.
B How fine a grind is too fine ????
C Im getting a small percentage of fine stuff maybe 10-15% like course ground flour.....is this a worry????
Thanks for any help in advance SBB
