Difficulty breathing after milling grains

[whovous]

I condition by putting a few pounds at a time in a steamer. It is a lot faster than the spritz method.

Good it’s not just me!

I mill directly into MLT. Since I’m milling inside I wear a mask for about 15 minutes.

If I don’t I end of wheezing by the end of the day.

My skin also gets very irritated by grain dust too.

When I used to condition I would do it the night prior to brewday. I never had any issues personally. Cheers

Depending on your system, conditioning can improve extraction by allowing you to crush with a tighter gap.

It is OK to mill in advance of brewing. 1-2% water is not enough to spoil the grain or significantly promote microbe growth in a few days.
