Country Living Grain Mill

The Country Living Grain Mill is the best hand-powered mill we know of. It's a solidly built, high-quality precision machine that's designed to last nearly forever. The Country Living Grain Mill is for those who want the best available speed, grind quality, durability, and long life in a simple, easy-to-use mill that doesn't depend on electricity.

Check out these features:

• Lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer
• Heavy cast iron flywheel for smooth turning
• Large hopper holds 2 lbs. of wheat
• Precision made high-carbon steel grinding plates
• Grinds cool because of the low RPM -- no nutrient-destroying heat like many electric mills
• Will grind virtually all dry grains: wheat, corn, beans, peas, amaranth, etc. (anything much larger than wheat requires the optional corn & bean auger)
• Self-locking adjustment knob allows infinite adjustment from very fine to very coarse
• Heavy steel shaft rides on industrial-grade sealed ball bearings, not just a metal or plastic sleeve like most others; easier to turn, longer lasting
• Hand-cast solid metal body
• Beautiful and super-tough powder coat finish -- the only mill in the world to use an FDA-approved food-grade powder coating
• V-belt groove in flywheel allows quick, simple hookup to a motor or exercise bike -- no adapter kit necessary

Many folks feel the Country Living Mill is better than the Diamant, a well-known Danish-made mill that sells for around $800. (We address this issue here not to run down the Diamant, but because so many folks ask us how they compare.) We know of two reasons why it's better: (1) the Diamant uses teflon sleeve bearings, whereas the Country Living uses sealed ball bearings, which are more durable and longer lasting; and (2) the Diamant uses cast iron grinding burrs, which are good, but wear faster than Country Living's high-carbon steel burrs. Country Living used to use cast iron burrs, but switched to high-carbon steel for better durability and consistency, even though the production cost is higher than cast iron.

We're occasionally asked if the Country Living Mill will make peanut butter. The manufacturer says it will make "crunchy" peanut butter, but it makes a gooey mess that's difficult to clean up, so they don't recommend it. But we've talked to folks who regularly make peanut butter and are happy with the results. We've never tried it ourselves, so that's about all we know about it.

In our tests, the Country Living Grain Mill ground just under one cup of fine flour per minute (4.5 cups in 4.75 minutes). It takes considerable effort to maintain this speed, and you will work up a sweat. It's not possible to grind this fast using the Power Bar.

Please note, there's a backlog on the Country Living Mill, due to high demand. As of 4-16-08 the backlog is running a bit over 3 weeks and has been slowly growing, so get your order in early. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Corn & Bean Auger Required to grind anything much larger than wheat: corn, beans, nuts, coffee, etc. Helps feed things into the grinding plates if they're too big and/or oily to go in well by themselves. Large wooden stomper included. Cast stainless steel. Easy to install; can be left in place when grinding wheat or other small grains.	$32 with mill purchase BUY NOW	$37 BUY NOW
Power Bar Reduces grinding effort by 40%. Steel extension attaches quickly and easily to the flywheel to make grinding easier (but slower). Manufacturer recommends it for children & elderly. We find its application much broader than that, but it's hard to predict who will need it and who won't. In general, women are likely to need it unless they're used to a fairly high level of physical activity; men are less likely to need it. It'll slow you down because your arms have to make a larger circle when you turn the mill.	$18 with mill purchase BUY NOW	$26 BUY NOW

Notes

• Mounting: The Country Living Grain Mill must be clamped or bolted to a counter or sturdy table before use. The easiest way to do this is a couple 3" C-clamps, using small pieces of wood (2" pieces of 1x2 work well) to protect the mill's finish. You can also drill your mounting surface and bolt it down using the holes in the mill's base.

• Motorizing: Should you wish to motorize your mill, the manufacturer recommends an 1150 RPM motor of 1/3 HP or larger, with a 1.5" pulley. Faster motors can be used, but should be geared so the mill does not exceed 120 RPM. As far as connecting it to the mill, the flywheel is actually a pulley, so all that's necessary is to make sure the ratio is correct and attach everything to something solid.
