    Default I need crap

    Hey Al,

    I'm looking for a hand flour mill. Preferrably with both steel and stone grinders.

    Your website says if I can name, you've got it.

    Grunt,
    got one to fit a Kenwood Chef mixer, only has steel wheels. Am away at the moment (Gold Coast) so may not be able to check PMs. If you're interested can do a swap of some sort.

    Grunt,

    Don't do it, it's just a trap.

    They are trying to keep you on the treadmill that is the electricity grid.

    Why not make one of these:



    Cheers,

    Sounds to me if Grunt has had an organic episode.

    Thanks fellas,

    I want a hand grinder not electric. That way you get the best organic.

    Midge, I've already got a mortar and pessel. Getting a consistant grind is a bit tricky with them.

    Don't want to be too persnickety, but the pick is a metate, sort of like a stone rolling pin, used in Mexico and south America for making flour. It's used like a rolling pin, and the rock (bowl) is a similar curve.

    The Hairy Bikers on SBS had a crack a couple of weeks ago, to the mirth of the toothless old hags they were cooking for, the old shielas produced the finest most consistent flour in a flash.

    I'd be thinking it'd be a job for the missus.

    Or rig up the Kenwood to a gear attached to a wind traine for the bike. Actually exercise bikes seem to be singly the most commonly turfed out things on cleanup days, you could make purpose driven appliances of all descriptions!

    cheers,

    P

    The Koories used them too, there was a shop in Silverton ( near Broken Hill NSW ) that had a museum and they had hundreds of them the owner had collected over many years.

    Back on topic for once, what you are looking for is a Corona Grist Mill, they are stocked by some home brewing stores that specialise in AG brewing gear.
    Do a google on corona grist or have a look in yellow pages, grape and grain spring to mind (or is that grain and grape?) in Maidestone or thereabouts.
    The corona comes with metal or stone wheels, if you want to go electric I have seen a big grinder in an Indian shop in Dandenong, MK something enterprises, it's a drum with a big stone wheel that runs around the inside, fairly big and they make a bit of noise with that wheel rumbling away.
    Never noticed a price on it, but I pretty sure the corona is under (just) $100.00

    I knew there was another one

    Grunt, read up on baking with freshly milled flour, it reacts differently to aged flour.
