Well folks, I'm frustrated.
I bought 2 25K sacks of grain and was excited about making 2 batches tomorrow.
I thought I had all my variables in order but now that I'm trying to crush my grains I'm finding out it is a logistical nightmare.
My options:
A) Take it to a brew shop and have them charge me to crush it thus negating a large portion of my savings (I have no relationship with any of them, all my grain has come from out of province).
B) Food Processor on "chop." I realize this will produce flour, reduce efficiency, lead to stuck sparges and cloudy beer.
C) Buy a grain mill. See problems associated with choice A.
D) Mortar and Pestle.
I was very much looking forward to tomorrow and am now really aggravated.
I Know, RDWHAH. I do have a few left over
So, I'm leaning towards doing one batch tomorrow to test out how a food processor will work out. Option B...
Anyone have any thoughts? Anyone have any alternate methods of milling grain?
Help, please.
