I bought a used Diamant D525 grain mill for $202.00, with tax from an online auction. They did not know what it was and poorly described it. They are $1350.00 new, with shipping. It was close to brand new. I was originally interested in using it to make chick starter mash, but upon researching it, found it's considered the World's best hand cranked, machine convertible, flour mill. It weighs 47 pounds.

It is extremely easy to adjust and clean. I have 2 motors I could use with it, but have not yet.

You should be able to find a used mill for a fraction of the price of a new one online.

Fresh flour tastes better.

Used to BBQ chickens with dried cobs. No charcoal at my house when I was a kid. No grill either. We had a pit for pigs and chickens.


yes

I pick up corn missed by the combine. Shell it myself and winnow it several times.
Never tried sweet corn or any special variety.
those cheap mills sold on ebay work but I'd sure like to have one like Keith C has.

Back in the Dark Ages at KSU, I made flour every morning in a Lab.

As i recall, the only equipment was an adjustable bench mounted grinder and lab sifter with interchangeable screens. I sure wish I owned those things today.

Now youre talking ! 60 of wheat equals 60 of WW flour . Put a few rows of Hard red spring wheat in your garden .When dry and mature clip the heads.In 5 gallon bucket with lid and small hole in it shaft with a bit of light chain ,drill fastened to shaft,will thresh for you . Try to get hard red spring ,most likely source of high protein bread wheat . Oh ,toss up on a good windy day on a sheet chaff mostly gone in the wind .don't worry of you get a little chaff in with wheat grinder you flour won't tell !
