You are very welcome! Thanks for commenting.

Thank you!

You are welcome! Happy milling.

So glad you enjoy your Nutrimill C. I think I could have worked with it and had good outcomes. However, I was worried I might have damaged my stones. Nutimill seems like a great company. Happy Baking to you too!! Have a great day.

Thank you for your sweet comment. It has made my day! So glad you found value in the video. Excited for you to get your mill and start milling (if this is new for you). The Mockmills have been backordered for a while, 6 weeks is great. It was months out before and was getting pushed back, because there was a delay with the cargo ship out of Germany. I do not have any trouble with glazing in my Mockmill thankfully, so I honestly wouldn't worry about freezing your wheat, unless you have issues with it. I have never had glazing with the Mockmill 100, but had it several times with hard and soft using the Nutrimill Harvest. I bet your Mockmill 200 will be a breeze! I'm with you on temp and great point with baking. So true. Have a blessed day.

@@ordinaryhomemaking6027 Milling wheat berries is new for me. Up until 7 years ago I baked whole wheat bread with yeast and potato slurry to feed them once in a while. Now I am retired and have the time to get back into it again. I still make my own whole wheat pasta with King Arthur white whole wheat flour. I am really interested in learning to sift the flour and make lighter breads yet have enough fiber to keep it healthy. I have also been watching videos on making sour dough starter (that's how I came across your channel). I have a question for you. I was wondering if I sifted out the larger particles of bran and ground them up separately then added it back to the flour would the finer bran help make the bread lighter in texture?

@@elonever.2.071 I love that you make your own pasta, I have started researching. I would love to do it. Do you have a noodle maker (not sure the correct term) you recommend? I have not tried sifting and remilling. I will be curious once you mill and use real whole wheat, what you will think. We have been pleasantly surprised with fluffy muffins, biscuits, cakes, bread, etc. I have even had people comment about our muffins and then be surprised to find out that they are made from Ezkiel mix, which has a bunch of things, including beans! I think because I mill and sourdough or bake with immediately it retains the oil and makes it lighter than your typical store bought "Whole Wheat". We use hard and soft white wheat most and then red wheat and Ezekiel Mix (We make our own, because it is much cheaper than buying it packaged up.) You may want lighter for fancier stuff. Keep me posted. Sounds like you are ahead of me in the bread making game. I have been doing sourdough 4 years and fresh milling for, maybe 6 months. WE are sold on the health benefits!

@@ordinaryhomemaking6027 I have a kitchenAid mixer and bought a Gvode Pasta roller and cutter set (3 pieces) because it was cheaper than the Kitchen Aid model and had better reviews. It is really easy to make. I So far I only make whole wheat and I use one large egg for every 130 grams of flour and add about 1/4 cup of water when I make a 520 gm batch. Then I let it sit 15 or twenty minutes. There are a couple things to know that will make it a lot more fun. First your pasta flour has to be on the dry side so it doesnt stick to the machine. You want a pretty good coating of flour on the dough. Second never wash your pasta roller or cutters. let the pasta dry and I pick it out with a tooth pick or small brush. Usually it falls out when you turn the machine on. At most I have one or two tiny crumbs that get stuck and dried out. I roll it out so it fits into the largest setting. then I cut it into 4 inch wide strips and go through the smooth roller (lasagna roller) until it gets to the thickness I like. I usually go down to #1 or 2. Mine came with 2 rolling cutters, one for fettuccine and one for angel hair spaghetti. I then put it in 100 gram discs in well sealed zip lock bags and in a plastic container and freeze until I want to use some. I pull it out of the freezer an hour ahead of time and let it thaw naturally. It is the same as freshly made that way. Either way fresh of frozen and thawed only takes about 1 or two minutes to cook in boiling water. When you first put it in the water take a fork and separate it because it will stick together. And the flour you used so the pasta dough doesnt stick to the machine comes off when put in the water. The pasta will sink at first then rise when cooked. Have everything ready to take it out as soon as it rises because it overcooks real fast. I use a round strainer with a wooden handle to get it all out in one sweep. My whole wheat pasta has a very silky texture. I have made it for friends who say they wont eat whole wheat pasta and they love it. And one 100 gram disc of pasta dough makes a good size bowl of angel hair pasta for one person. No I'm not ahead of you I just did it differently and now I am ready to mill my own flour mostly because of the health benefits too. Everyone has something to offer each other if we are willing to listen. I dont have a noodle maker yet mostly because it isnt a priority right now. Im pretty sure some time in the future I will end up with one that makes different shapes. So far the ones I have seen make the dough and extrude it all in one continuous process. I don't want one like that because it takes my creativity out of the process and the size of the batch is limited AND you have to take the machine apart and clean it each time...too much work. Throwing the ingredients in the mixer then slapping it on a mat and rolling it out is much much simpler...for me anyway. The rollers get dusted off and put back in their original box. Easy peasy. You are going to like making your own pasta. It is quick, easy and fun.

@@elonever.2.071 Thank you so much, I will be saving this. I so agree, we can all learn from each other.

Thank you! Hope it is helpful.

Awesome. Do you have the classic or harvest? We use ours so much too. Almost daily. We do 2-4 loaves a week, depending on the week. So thankful for mills and access to living wheat!

@@ordinaryhomemaking6027 classic

So I got my Nutrimill Classic back (the white one) and is not as fine as the mockmill. I thought they were so similar before and used the classic before I got my mockmill. However, after running flour through today it is much finer with the mockmill sadly. I love that you can mill so much wheat, faster with the classic, but it just isn’t as fine as the Mockmill.

I would have to experiment a little with the Classic and Mockmill to see. If I do I will let you know. If you only want fine then the Classic would be better for the price. Where as Mockmill will do fine up to many different coarse settings. But I do feel like the Mockmill and classic are both the same fine wise and you have to make sure you just barely turn the classic knob to keep it at the finest.

I think you would need to use a blender or coffee grinder. Nothing with oil can go into the mills (nuts & seeds, and nothing that is not completely dried).

thanks. I have milled Ezekiel mix in the Nutrimill Classic and it mills the beans, wheat, ect.

If the stones are too close and you mill with soft (I actually had it happen with soft and hard white wheat) wheat in the Nutrimill Harvest it is apt to glaze. A glaze (smooth waxy coating) forms over the stone and makes them smooth. It clogs the mill, causing it to stop milling. You then need to open it up and remove all of the wheat berries. Then mill two cups of rice through it to rub the glaze off. There is a picture in the video of light glazing. Does that help?

I ordered from The Bread Beckers co-op. They come already sealed, in food grade reusable buckets. I them put a gamma lid on it. This time I am ordering from Aszure Standard Co-Op. Their products come in bags, so are cheaper. You will have to store them in something else after you pick them up. You can also get plastic buckets at Walmart in the bakery for a dollar.

Glazing is when the is a build up or film over top of the stones. It makes them slick. They need to be rough in order to grind.

The stones are set inside so that cannot go too close. You can set the inside too tight. I have since changed how tight my stones are since this video. This was when I first got it. It will not go too close now. It can only go looser. On the Nutrimill Harvest they actually tell you to tighten when you add your berries.

@@ordinaryhomemaking6027 I see. It is my perception that the kernel themselves can actually keep the burrs apart - they will work against the inner springs pushing a burr against the other burr. But immediately before and immediately after the milling, when there are no kernels between the burrs, the burrs will touch each other if you hear a noise. That, personally, I would avoid.

@@uffa00001 With the mock mill you turn the adjustment knob to lock the ceramic discs in place so they don't get pushed apart.

@@elonever.2.071 Thanks for the clarification. So IMHO the discs should almost touch each other, but not really touch each other, ever.

@@uffa00001 The instructions say to bring the discs together until you just begin to hear the grinding noise. And then back it of when finished grinding. Personally I keep mine where they are almost touching and this makes fine enough flour for what I do. I hope this helps.

Yes, I think she was just nervous filming. I definitely think a plane! :D

Yes, I did that several times, but I didn't want to do that all the time. I have never had glazing now.

I did not send a mockmill back and waited months for mine. I sent back the Nutrimill Harvest. Maybe the 200 heats it more because it is faster? My 100 is warm but not hot. The Nutrimill Classic and Mockmill 100 feel very comparable to me. I would love the 200 bc it is faster, but maybe it's good I have the slow one.

@@ordinaryhomemaking6027 I did everything I could to love that mill, but along with not being able to get the grind, I wanted and the heat it was generating, come to find out the stones are made out of a aluminum oxide. They say it’s food, safe, and medical grade and what not but aluminum is aluminum to me. I hated to do it but I sent it back.

That makes sense! What new meal did you decide on? @@benjamindrew9232

For now I got another nutrimill classic. I’m starting a cottage small business baking and milling for people locally and needed an extra mill for gluten free grains. I have the Grain Maker 99 with a motor kit and two nutrimills. If the demand is there we may get a Meadows commercial mill that has an 8 inch granite stone. If you’re not worried about the material of the stones in your current mill, I would stick with it and have a nutrimill as a sidekick for bigger jobs. Just my thoughts.
