grains, beans, and legumes. Avoid milling seeds or any grains, beans
and legumes that have a high oil or moisture content.
If there is a question about grain being dry enough to mill, check
using a "knife test". Take a single piece of grain. With the flat side of
a knife, press grain against a hard surface (like a counter top). A grain
that bursts with a distinct cracking sound is dry enough to mill. A
grain that is too wet will be soft and not crack or burst.
Know the source of your grain. Purchase and mill only carefully
cleaned grain from a reliable source. Unclean grain may contain small
stones, which can damage millstones.
Do not mill damp or wet grain. Damp grain may stick to millstones,
block the flour outlet and affect your mill's performance.
Note: Store grain in a dry, cool, well-ventilated location. Grain tends to
absorb moisture from the air.
