Grain Mill Question

From Readers Glennis & Jim G.

I would also like to ask about wheat mills. I have a Corona mill with stone burrs that I tried to grind wheat with. I followed the instructions and I made the most beautiful loaf of wheat bread. It looked and smelled just wonderful. With great anticipation, I sliced into it, but what a disappointment—It was like eating bread with sand mixed into it. I had to throw the bread out as it was impossible to eat it. I put the mill away and have not tried to grind flour since.

My question is: Is there any hope for this mill or should I forget about it and get another mill and, if so, what are the recommendations for a good mill at a good price?

 

Dear Readers: I have never used a grain mill so if any of you have used one, would you please comment and let us know what you think? I would appreciate it!

Thanks! Tawra
