So I tried my first attempt at conditioning the grain by lightly spraying a small amount of water on the grain and mixing well, letting set for 20 minutes until it just felt leathery, not moist and then milled.
Well maybe I still overdid the water because after crushing 11 lbs of grain my Barley Crusher rollers are gummed up with grain residue. I tried brushing it off with a stiff bristled plastic brush and it's not working. Seems soaking would be the only way to remove the caked on residue.
What should I do? If the rollers cake with residue the next crush will be too fine.
