[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to from various grains for inclusion in my sausages, which I make using the Kitchenaid sausage maker, and also to make pasta, also made with the kitchenaid pasta making kits. The grain mill allows me to choose the grain size, a brilliant ability given the very limited grain sizes available in commercial stores, and also allows me to make amazing grain mixes for experimenting with torrent pasta flavours.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've made a couple of batches of flour with the grain mill. The result is not as fine as I would like however I accept that this is not a stone mill - it is a metal auger and it won't grind the grain as finely. I'm using Wheat Grain Correll Biodynamic from Sovereign Foods and made a couple of different style bread loaves. The mill works well although the loaf is a little heavier and a slightly less "bouncy" feel to the dough as it proves and doesn't show a lot of gluten development, which I think is due to the coarser grind. I tried running the grain through on the coarsest setting first, and then again on the fine setting and this seemed to provide a better result than going straight to the fine setting. I then sieved the flour to remove any chunky bits and out of 500gm flour this was only about 10g. So overall a good result. The mixer itself is doing a lot of work and gets reasonable hot which is why they specify to do a batch and then let it cool down. Happy with the result overall though!
