While anxiously trying to find a free method of crushing the specialty grains that I accidently brought home uncrushed I found an old hand crank meat grinder handed down from my father in law.
I found that if I kept the grinder and hopper plumb full from start to finish then with only one pass I would end up with a pretty even blend of flour, chopped up grains, and whole grains.
I brew w/extracts and am only using the grains to steep before my boil. Will the flour make my beer bitter? Will the still uncrushed grains go to waste? Should I just double bag or toss out the grains altogether?
