I'm so excited. I just ordered a new mill. I can hardly wait to start milling my own grains. Since I bake almost exclusively with whole grains this is a big deal for me. I've been ordering my flour out of state, about once or twice a month so I figure it will pay for itself in about a year.
There is a place very close to the house that sells grains in bulk so I'm pretty set, although I don't know if they have specialty grains like spelt, durum and kamut.
Now I just need to bake a bunch of whole wheat this week to use up the month old flour that I have. I'm refreshing my starter now, going to start some of my "1-2.5-3" loaves tonight.

Please let me know how it works out for you. That's the mill that I am planning on buying next month. I've placed an order for Montana Wheat wheat berries from our NC coop which should arrive late May or early June. I've never used a grain mill before, so please let me know if there are any tricks I need to know to get good, fresh, nutritious flour. Thanks!
This is the mill she uses for all the flour she sells. I'll bet she has a lot of information to give you. I found out after I ordered mine that she also sells hers without any shipping cost. I paid exactly the same price (also without shipping) for mine. If I'd known I would have gone with hers.
She also sells Universal Plus mixers.
I'm also interested to know how it goes for you. I use a lot of small grains for my gluten free baking, amaranth, quinoa, teff, and I don't have the proper mill for those.
When I asked the company that sold Nutramill if it worked on those they said they didn't know...
Thanks,

According to the manual, which I found online it does work for small grains and dry beans. What do you do with the amaranth and quinoa?
Thanks for looking this up for me!
I use amaranth, quinoa and teff for baking gluten free sourdough bread for myself and my gluten free daughter.
I also teach gluten free bread baking class and sell a bread manual, actually 2 now, on my website. One is rice based and the other is rice free.
Presently I use a kitchen aid grain mill attachment for rice and buckwheat but the small grains just pass through almost unground. Then I got a Barista coffee mill which did the small grains pretty well but I can see the flour isn't as fine as it once was and I can feel the coarseness in the bread.
Thanks again,
