No Mill for uncracked grains... how to..

[bball3414]

So i just purchased a kit online from a close HBS. It didn't state that their grains came uncracked in their Extract kit. I have no mill to crack the grains.

Does anyone know of a way to best do this? I was think with a rolling pin.
I have a limited amount of household items to use.

thanks!!

I think a rolling pin would work fine for a partial mash.

Pillowcase and rolling pin. No rolling pin, try a heavy (full) wine bottle. I actually use an electric burr coffee mill on it's coarsest setting for small amounts of grain. It's too fine for large amounts - makes too much flour - but I have no compunctions about using it for a pound or so.

You wouldn't by chance have a beer bottle? Those work too.

A little at a time in a blender works well too. Pulse it.
