My Cereal Killer showed up a day or two ago. Yesterday I picked up a couple of pounds of 2-row to run through it for 'experimental' purposes.
Set the gap at .035", ran 3 cups through:
After looking at a few threads on malt conditioning, decided to give it a whirl. Put 3 cups of grain in a mixing bowl, lightly misted it with water, tossed it, repeat until the dry straw feeling was gone. I used very little water. Let it sit for a minute or two, then milled it:
I can't believe how much more intact the husks are. The same 3 cups of grain produced a much 'fluffier' grist.
So, what's the consensus on my crush, both dry and conditioned? Is the dry crush a little too shredded? FWIW, both samples were hand cranked.
