So how difficult is it, to grind one's own grains without a grain mill? I'm just doing small-batch extract brews (3 or less gallons, steeping grains only, so most likely not more than 1 pound total to grind per recipe)
Why didn't you buy it crushed? At least it would have been around 50% there, most outfits mill far too coarsely.
Where did you order from? Some large suppliers have been very tardy (several weeks out) with fulfilling their orders (e.g., Northern Brewer and their affiliates, MS, AIH, AHB).Mostly because I wasn't sure how fast I'd be going thru it, and I've read that it will stay fresh for longer if uncrushed. It should arrive here next week sometime, I'm gonna try the "smash it with a hammer" method first, cuz that sounds like the most fun. Will update thread with results next weekend!
...I offer another vote for a blender ... it really does work OK.
