Same here. I'm wondering what @Caramel Ox did to make a mess of their mill.
Mine gets left anywhere from half an hour as I get everything else ready, to overnight. When I mill it, it's dry, but not "powdery dry" like you get out of the sack. Grain husk is more leathery. It's certainly not wet, in and sense if the word and never had any issue with it going through the mill
Same here. As far as I've read, that's that you're after. I had to double check mine the first time as at a quick glance some of the kernels looked whole
Not long enough by the sounds of it, probably 10 minutes. Also underestimated size of container needed to stir 5kg grain.
Sounds like a right faff to me since it would mean having to rinse down and dry the mill. I use a two roller Grain Gorilla set to a fairly fine grind. Once I'd tightened up the locking nuts with a pair of pliars I've never had any trouble with it, it hadn't moved in a couple of years. Great bit of kit, if a little slow evem when driven with an electric drill.
You shouldn't need to... If you are doing that, then you're using waaaay to much water. As mentioned above, the grain should still be dry too the touch after conditioning. The mill should be totally dry like normal after you've crushed your grain
Too much of a faff for me and the benefits seem doubtful, I used my new Grainfather Mill and followed the Malt Miller guide and I reckon it was spot on. I have no problem with re-circulation anyway.
