My wife has gotten into baking bread with whole grain flour that she ginds in our Blentec blender. (It Blends!) This sucker has 4.2 HP and is amazing.
I want to build a barley mill for brewing. I have a few friends who are coming together to form a sort of co0-op, sharing the costs of equipment and ingredients, etc. A few of them are pretty handy and we'll eventually tackle something like welding a brewstand for community use.
When I mentioned a mill and buying our grin in bulk, one of them said his wife wsa 100% behind the idea if we could get flour out of it. Now I KNOW the mechanics of crushing grain between rollers and ginding grain into flour (plates, stones, burrs, etc) is different. But we're a bunch of smart guys on thie forum. Someone has to have come up with a hybrid mill concept.
Would a mill with BIG (3"-4" or up) rollers with an incredibly small gap do flour? Then you back the gap off a tiny bit and crush grain?
Long Shot - barley AND flour mill?
