For those who mill their own flour...a few questions
I use a Mockmill and it's been great for a few years now of regular use. I only buy organic wheat and I bought a bunch of hard white from Honeyville a while back but they've been out of stock for a while now. Janies Mill is great although they don't seem to have hard white. Free shipping over a hundred bucks. I know I have a couple places to get organic white and as soon as I find them I'll update.

I haven't tried this place but had them in my bookmarks https://www.ancientgrains.com/...rries-in-paper-bags/

My parents had a Bosch mill. Loud as a jet engine. I can’t get over my desire for a GrainMaker.

GrainMaker

Made in Montana and heirloom quality. I want a model 116. Not cheap, but nice things cost real money. They have options to add an electric drive. They even have the ability to drive them from a bicycle. A real prepper’s mill.

I was close to buying a Diamant a few years back, and would have had they not been backordered at the time.

Cast iron and designed to last a few lifetimes. The one drawback (if you want to call it that) is that the grinding plates are metal rather than stone. As I understand it, stone mills are better at not overheating the grain as it grinds.

There are two basic types of mill as I understand it: the grinding mills and the impact mills. The Wondermill and the Blendtec are impact mills. I have always been happy with the Blendtec results, have no experience with grinding mills.
