Monday Again!

We saw this litte kitchen gadget at a flea market last fall. These things can be used to make flour or corn meal, but they are very popular with home brewers who need to crack malted barley to make their mash. When we had time to home brew, we belted up our stone buhr mill to the John Deere to crack our malt. That was much more fun than hand cranking out a bushel of malt, and it was part of the heritage of our mill, which used to crack malted corn in Eastern Kentucky for moonshiners in the Beaver Creek area in Floyd County. Back To The Old Grind!
