Very nice vid. I got one from Amazon this week but it is not a Victoria. I bought mine for the same reason that you did. My chickens won't eat the whole dried kernel corn. I see that you have the Red Comet chickens like I do too.
Hey I know I'm way late but I've just gotten and old corn mill a really old one that I'll be restoring ..the one that I have actually says corona on it there will be a video up tonight ...
The chickens give it 10 feathers up, lol!! Been watching your past videos, going to borrow several of your ideas (and no I'm not returning them, lol!) for projects around the house. Thanks, take care & be safe.
+Buckrun11 Buck, i am the dumbest guy you will talk to today. being in the florida panhandle, i dont even know where i would get some honest to gosh wheat to experiment. i will tell you this: on a lark i tried grinding up some eggshells just now and it make a fine powder out of them. i am sure that tells you nothing....
You have been misinformed. Cracked corn contains all the same nutrients as your home milled corn. They just did the work for you. Brewer's grain, on the other hand, has been through a commercial process that does remove the starch in the kernel to make ethanol or other corn products. Most of the time brewer's grain is a wet product but it can sometimes be dried as well. However, by far the largest majority of cracked corn that you will find in farm supply stores is exactly the same as you are making in this video. When you get tired of cranking that mill, go back to buying the cracked corn! :)
hmmm, well that isnt what i was told. of course i cant remember who now but i called some corn people when i was trying to find out about making my own grits and whether or not i could use feed corn (i was told to use "people" corn or popcorn instead). but i want to get my facts right.
+The Wannabe Homesteader great question and I should have said in the vid, sorry. I did a little googling and it turns out the reason they crack the corn is to get out the germ. the germ is where all the goodies (a technical term) are and is where corn syrup comes from. so in effect they are selling the same kernel of corn twice. only the last part is empty. no goodies. if you crack your own whole corn all the nutrients and flavor and stuff are still there. turns out the same thing happens with storebought corn mill and grits. unless you get it specifically made from whole corn, all the goodies are gone.
+The Wannabe Homesteader exactly! doing it with our food too. don't trust my word though, I am the dumbest guy you will talk to today. research it yourself. now, im not a gmo/contrails/jfk assassination nut. I am not saying its a conspiracy to keep me from having the best crackling bread. but that is what is happening. you know yourself how much better fresh eggs than those things they sell in the supermarket. its the same with whole corn meal.

+lou ollstedt outstanding! please let me know your improvements on them!
im gonna grind for mealworms
Can this gring coffee? Perhaps espresso grind size?
i am sure it can grind it. be some work but it could.
It will grind coffee beyond a drip but not fine enough for espresso. Even running it through 2 or 3 times.
tools and toys a fellers best friend.
I did fine wheat for cooking but during cooking colour of wheat was change it's like grinder colour.
Is machine grinder giving some gray colour ? Because I did wheat grinde it during cooking the
is this applicable for coffee bean?
i havent tried it but i dont see why not. you may have to regrind it a couple times, tightening the thingamabob.
Splendid, thanks!
I have been thinking about a mill for a long time. Will yours grind wheat into flower?

@@renaissancemarinetv3536 dry eggshells can be used in place of oyster shells.
It will grind good enough for bread flour but not fine pastry flour.

Whats the benefit in grinding your own?

Wow, did not know that...so they are selling the scrap corn as feed from another process.

Looks like your missing the hooper.
maybe, what is that?
@@renaissancemarinetv3536 He meant "hopper" to funnel the grains in through the top.
Home made grits???
+Jess Pendleton your getting corn meal for Christmas!
+Renaissance MarineTV Sounds good to me! You know my roommate paid $25 for "boutique" grits the other day so there may be a market there ;)
