Bread education and getting quality back into our foods. I have learned and continue to learn from all the hard work you put into this channel.

Next thing will be to grow your own grains. Been fun watching you move on from the garage until this phase

You and Amanda have an entrepreneurial spirit and vision. And it’s when you double down and take the risk and forge your own path that incredible things can happen. And look where you are! So happy to see this, we have learned a lot from you two. You’ve probably had to push through many times when things seemed uncertain or others were doubting you. Thanks for sharing

Very interesting! To monitor hopper level maybe a dome mirror hung above the hopper? A distorted view but has the view that you need from various angles. Pretty low tech, too.

@cachi-7878 Жыл бұрын

@5:59, I would put a sensor at the spout where the grain is visible. You could then have this sensor shut off the mill when no more grain is detected.

I'm waiting for the day when Jon announcing that they bought land for the purpose of growing different type of wheats. I kinda have the feeling that after getting that mill, this would be the next step to make Proof a real farm-to-table experience. I don't know if I'll ever travel to the USA from Hungary (probably not..), but if and when I do, I'll make sure to get a loaf from You! Keep up the good work!

Should be possible to construct something to automatically shut down the mill as soon as no grain is left. Maybe a photoelectric barrier directed to the flow of grains or some sensor installed insight the hopper.

I've been searching for a source of whole rye for a while. I'd been buying from an organic farm in Kansas, but that tends to get expensive with shipping. I get over to Mesa a couple times a year so, having a source of flour and fresh pain au chocolat is very nice.

It seems that I have fallen behind your latest developments. I think having your own stone mill on site is fantastic. Do you have to mill rice to clean the stones like you do with counter top stone mills?

You don't need a mirror, you need a sensor so you can be even more carefree. As soon as that sensor says so, machine turns off. Probably cheaper than a mirror honestly

Could you tell me if Harriet is a white flour starter? Maybe i've missed it but I couldn't see what starter you get the best results with, in the starter videos you made you mention you can use any type of flour as a starter. Thank you !

@ProofBread Жыл бұрын

Harriet is fed white flour. Whole grain flour will bring out a sharper flavor in the bread as the fermentation process is slightly different with whole grain highlighting the tart. Timing varies too. Whole grain starters mature faster. For us the white starter is the right balance of everything in terms of time, adaptability, etc.

@adamchurvis1 Жыл бұрын

So if I understand things correctly, rather than employing a Breaker System to remove the bran and germ, you simply mill at specific screen-aperture sizes and rely on the fact that both bran and germ are more coarse than the first and second screens would allow to pass, is that correct? Is your rye bran extremely lightweight and doesn't mill down further than it is when it flakes from the endosperm? Thanks in advance for your answers. I'm performing a Sanity Check on my own (significantly lesser) efforts.

@SuperDavidEF Жыл бұрын

He has an earlier video where he explains it more. Basically, the stone mill doesn't separate anything. So, any pieces of bran and germ that are fine enough for the first sifter get to go into that bin, and same for the second and third sifters. Most large millers use mills that separate the bran and germ from the endosperm completely.

@adamchurvis1 Жыл бұрын

@@SuperDavidEF Yes, and the mechanism that does that separating is called a Breaker System, which is WAY outside what a home-miller like myself can make (or even position and run), so what I was wondering was if there was a consistent way to separate germ and bran without using a breaker. Are you familiar with these?

@SuperDavidEF Жыл бұрын

@@adamchurvis1 I'm not familiar with it. But for myself, I consider keeping more of the parts of the grain together to be a win. So I wouldn't be looking for a breaker system anyway. Jon's mill doesn't have any way to separate the bran and germ. And I think if it were important for the quality of his bread, he would have made sure he had a mill that could do it. He did say that the finest sifted flour is about 85% of the grain, so it would seem that most of the bran and germ ARE getting sifted out by size alone.
