What kind of grinder did you get, CB? Is it hand crank or electric? You may have posted this way back on the thread, but I couldn’t recall if you had.

I got a half and half ;)

It’s electric, but came with a hand crank too, just in case. That was what I was looking for. It’s a family grain mill. And strangely enough, YouTube is a good place to check out how the various mills work. Some are so loud, even in the videos people can’t talk over them. FGM is pretty quiet, CHEAP, and does a good job milling the flour pretty fine. All except the burrs are plastic (hence the cheap price in comparison to some others). The flour doesn’t end up all over the kitchen either, like some others I’ve read about (as long as I use a rather tall bowl to catch it in.)

I’m making more bread today but....I think I forgot the yeast! it’s been in the frig overnight with no action whatsoever. Bread is so simple - flour, yeast, salt, water, maybe sugar - and I seem to forget one ingredient each time I make it. The bread without flour was pretty bad.;(
