On the kitchen bench lay 2 pieces of baking paper/ foil or glad wrap. One lapping over the over to cover the join.Matty McFly said:Hey there brew pals,
I'm looking for some kind of device or tactic that will mill small amounts of speciality grains to improve my very mediocre kit n' kilo efforts. The only brew store that can do it for me (Grain & Grape) is a bit out of the way, I'm gunning for convenience, so that's out for now.
Is there some trick or cheap small device (under $30 would be nice) that will do the job? I only do 500g at a time and I refuse to attempt the rolling pin method again.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Then wrap a bread board with the same,weight the amount of grains you need for the recipe and a handful at a time use a rolling pin to crush the grains.
As each handful is crushed brush them off the bread board and do the next handful and so on .
The covering on the bread board helps to prevent contamination,the paper on the bench the same as well as making it easier to collect the crushed grain.
As how the crushed grain " should look like " when done ?
Experiment ! Each to their own,what works for you may not for others,it's what the home brewing bug is all about.
Cheers...spog....
Ha,ha the rolling pin is now your best friend..
