Re:wheat mill - Forum - Whole Grain Gourmet

What's this all about?

We love whole grains! We have found that we prefer their flavor. They are also far healthier than the refined foods which characterize the typical modern diet.

Switching to whole grains helps maintain a low glycemic diet. That means you will have more sustainable energy levels throughout the day, and probably fewer problems with weight control.

We created this website with one goal: to build an online community of like-minded people who either share our enthusiasm about whole grains or just want to learn more about them.

wheat mill
by happyasamom 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago

I grind my wheat using my friends grinder, then keep it in the freezer. I would like to buy a wheat mill that I can grind just what I need, when I need it. Any suggetions? Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated.

thanks,
happyasamom

I purchased the Nutrimill through www.breadbeckers.com about two years ago and I am very pleased with this machine. I too grind my own whole wheat grain (e.g. soft white, hard red, white red, kamut)and make my own bread, muffins, pancakes, etc). I belong to a grain coop thru breadbeckers from whom I order my grain and other products. Lots of great info at this site.

Hi, I just found this website, and I'm really glad I did.

I have both a Nutrimill and a Family Grain Mill. I got the Nutrimill from the Pleasant Hill Grain people. The Family Grain Mill I found as a closeout.

I favor the Family Grain Mill for several reasons:
1. It is QUIET (the Nutrimill, which is an IMPACT mill, sounds like a LOUD vacuum cleaner).
2. It is space saving: It is small compared to the Nutrimill, and sits on my counter as needed.
3. It can grind more different things than the impact mill.
4. It can be taken apart and cleaned.
5. Flour doesn't blow all over the place-a real issue with the Nutrimill.
6. There is a wider variety of grinding settings.
7. There are lots of attachments, such as a flaker, available.
8. Maybe the flour isn't as finely ground as in an impact mill, but I have not had any issues with it in my baking.
9. It can be used with an electric motor, or as a hand grinder.

If you are going to grind huge amounts of flour, perhaps an impact mill like the Nutrimill would be better, but I have been REALLY happy with the Family Grain Mill.

There are lots of comparisons on the internet of different mills, if you are interested in the information.
