How to crack Rye

Profile picture for user DanAyo

I own a KoMo Fidibus Classic Grain Mill. Is it possible to use it to make Cracked Rye?

I'm wondering I could open the adjustment up to slightly crush the berries.

Thanks

That's pretty much what I do. When I crack rye (or make rye chops) I use the steel burrs that came with my Wondermill Jr. rather than the stones, and set them fairly far apart. Does a pretty good job!

I don't have steel burrs, but I'm hoping that my stones set far apart will do the job.

I'm thinking that I should aim at getting the berries slightly cracked if possible. I've never seen cracked rye before.
