I'm trying to do some one-gallon batches using liquid and dry extract. But I also plan to steep some specialty grains in most of the batches. My question is how do I crush the grains without a mill? My local shop is new and doesn't have their mill set up yet so all their grains are whole. I was planning to just measure out how much I need and put them in a large ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Do you guys think this would do a good enough job? My other option would be a food processor, but I think this would grind them a little too much, maybe even just turn the grains into dust.
