Elly, great video. I was looking at getting a mock mill until I learned the stone are synthetic. Are you concerned about the aluminum oxide from these synthetic grinding wheels?
Elli thank you sooooo much 🎉 I have been grinding quite a bit of grains and my beloved machine quit!!! I quickly found your video and you are a life saver saved me a lot of time and spent up energy tryi
You're welcome!
I'm In the USA, California. Thank you,!!! You've taken the fear out of opening it up and making the adjustments. Thank you!!!
You're very welcome!
i bought my Mockmill about 6 months ago, plus all the grain but life got really busy and its been languishing in my kitchen feeling unloved. You're instructions and lovely calm presence have inspired me to get moving on this, so i did my first grind lastnight and had home made pancakes for dinner.... and they were delish!! hugs from Brisbane
Yay! Good for you Kay. I love to make crepes and other easy flatbreads with my home milled flour - nice option to keep yourself in the practice!
Just watched this again to do some maintenance on my mill. I've said this before but brilliant video, thanks so much.
Thanks :)
I love your descriptive vocabulary! Nice demonstration!
Thank you!
This was REALLY helpful. I had issues with the lever my first time and this helped me so much. Thank you!
Oh that's great to hear! Happy to help.
Loved your tips about using mockmill 200. Thank you.
Thanks Deanna :)
Thanks so much Elly. You have a great teaching style.
You're welcome Juanita, thanks.
Thank you very much for this very informative video. Most useful.
You're welcome Anthony, thanks for your comment.
Thank you for educating me on mills.
You're welcome Elise.
Really great demo. There’s a lot of joy in maintaining our tools.
Thank you!
Absolutely. Thanks John.
Very informative, thank you!
Thank you! I just got mine yesterday and started using it today 😊.
Excellent! You'll love it.
Thanks for the demo!
It makes more sense now,thanks a lots
Very good video for owners as well as anyone interested in these mills. I have the same mill here in N.Cali. and use it often. Great mills.
Great to hear, thanks for commenting.
Thank you for this video! I’m just learning to use my Mockmill 100. I will check out your other videos. Thanks again.
You're welcome Aura!
Thank you for the information! Considering buying one soon.
That's great Nancy, you're welcome! There is some updated discount link info here if that helps www.ellyseveryday.com/home-milling-mockmill-links
Gee elly, what a brilliant demo! i have watched all the videos from mockmill and many others, and i just couldnt understand how to set the gauge without getting confused. thank you for slowly showing how to adjust the settings.
Oh that's brilliant Deborah, thank you!!
I just got a new to me mockmill 200 that was previously used and this video really helped me better understand how to operate and clean the machine out! So excited! Thank you!
Fantastic! You'll love it.
I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this video. My flour was so coarse and now I know it’s to do with the adjustment on the leaver to where the ticking point is. I’m so relieved. Thank you. Bread making was getting tedious because of the flour coming out so coarse. On the mockmill 100 we don’t have the line on the settings so I’ve had to do it blind. I now have fine flour yayyyyyy 😂
Yay!!! So happy for you. That's a big issue to solve.
Thank you for your video - I just started milling my own grains and am planning to get a Mock Mill 200 very soon so thank you for this detailed video showing it's use!
You're very welcome Donna, that's exciting!!
Thank You so much for your information! I plan to purchase this model.
That's great Jason! Make sure you visit my page for the discount links (a bit goes to me too which helps me a lot). Have fun with it!
Thank you so much, my Mockmill was gumming up & your video was perfect!
Oh good to hear! Thanks for your feedback.
This was such a great demonstration. I now have a 100 and I love it! Thank you.
That's wonderful!
Thank you. I have just ordered using your code. I look forward to following you here and a fellow Aussie too.
That's wonderful Kaye, thank you!
brilliant video, thanks!
Thank you!
I just set up my new Mockmill 200, which was purchased from your website. You have been my inspiration for purchasing it and I am looking forward to making my first loaf with fresh Hard White Wheat. Thank you, Elly, for your sweet spirit and all the information you provide for us.
Oh that's wonderful Susan, thank you! I wish you every success and lots of fun with your new mill and your bread making! Don't hesitate to get in touch if you ever need any help.
Thank you for explaining the settings. I finally understood how it works. 😅
You’re welcome 😊
Amazing demo thank you 🙏🏻
You're welcome.
Thank you from the USA! I just received my Mockmill 200 and your video was very helpful.
Oh you're welcome!
EXCELLENT video. I have had my Mockmill 200 for 2 months now and just stare at the box because I am dreading the set up. But! Not anymore thanks to this video. It is GREAT!
Thanks Kelly, that's excellent!
Elly thankyou for your wonderful editorial on the Mockmill.I have been looking to buy one in the last couple of weeks and literally stumbled across your video when searching for something else.I am in NZ so unfortunately could not purchase through you but the great news is I have found someone here in NZ and have ordered one,it should be here in the next couple of days.Very excited,can't wait.Keep up the great videos.
Oh, that is great! Have fun. :)
Thanks, this was great. I have had mine since July and never cleaned it. I wasn’t sure if I needed to or not. This is very helpful. I can’t say enough good about this mill, I absolutely love mine. I had a different mill for about 4 years and liked it, but it was much more complicated to use. This one is so simple and easy. I was coveting it but couldn’t rationalize getting another mill. I was showing my husband one of your bread videos and he saw your mill and how simple it was. When I told him I’d been eying it, he said “we’ll just sell yours and get this one”. I did get this one and sold my other one and I have not been the least bit sorry.
That's so fantastic, lovely to hear your feedback and experience with the mill. I love mine too! Glad you found a way to replace the other one. It seems too much to do this kind of thing sometimes, but it really can be worth it if you're going to be milling regularly. Great move!
Thank you for a very informative excellent video. I received my Mockmill 200 4 months ago. Getting use to using it, really like it. So glad you went over adjusting the setting, very helpful. My Mockmill did not have a mark for setting the lever, that would have been helpful. Again, thank you.
Great to hear. Thank you.
Hello from Texas and thanks, Elly, for this very useful tour of the Mockmill. I have a 100 on its way to me right now and this has been the most helpful introduction I’ve seen.
You're welcome. Happy milling!
Thank you, Elly. VERY informative! Nothing like a "show and tell" to familiarize yourself with a new item. Saved this video to be able to walk with you to clean/use mine when I purchase the Mock Mill 200 through your link. Keptpt waiting for you to whip out the vacuum;). My #1 tool for cleaning. And yes, please share any other instuctions/tips about milling if it would be worth your time. Thanks sgain, Elly. Have a great weekend!
Kathy, thank you!! I was thinking of you yesterday. I found an old comment of yours from way back that was so lovely I emailed to my Mum for her to read :) Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your support over the years. Glad you enjoyed the video! I really do love these mills, they are a truly excellent addition to a 'whole foodie' kitchen! If I think of anything else to show/share re. milling, I'll definitely hit the record button.
After watching many videos of different folks I bought the 200. Im really looking forward
Good for you! You will love it. I treasure mine.
You have made an excellent instructional video!!!!! So Throughly presented!!
I am frustrated with the lever. When you tighten the lever it isn’t all the way ….. right because it will not budge. What confuses me is when to loosen the lever going up to the 10 setting or down to the 1 setting.
Please help
I'm sorry that's very hard to explain in the text. Perhaps try watching that section of the video again? Loosening the lever helps you to move it without the stones moving.
Questo è un video davvero utile!!! Grazie!!!
Grazie, sei il benvenuto!
Great video! Glad you mentioned the springs, my first opening I dropped one inside the body. 😳 I have an old, fine paint brush I use for the stuck bits. You can also use a fat pipe cleaner to run through the outlet to clear any remaining flour. Good especially if you want to clear as much as possible for pretty much gluten free milling. ❤️
Thanks Maree! Great suggestions!
Thanks, this was very useful, especially the bit about the "custom" settings beyond 10. My wife makes cracked wheat breakfast cereal and is not interested in a mill that doesn't have a sufficiently coarse setting. This one looks perfect, so I ordered one!
That's brilliant Kerry! Just bear in mind though that while you'll get a nice coarse grind of your wheat from this mill, you won't get technically 'cracked' grain. That requires different equipment altogether! Having said that I'm not sure what your wife's cereal actually looks like, it might be more fine than I'm imagining. I hope you both are happy with what the mill can do though. They are truly excellent machines.
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough She used a Mill and Mix (stone grinding wheels) for many years, set to coarse, so I hope the new mill will work as well. One difference is that the stones were vertical instead of horizontal, we'll see if that makes a difference.
Oh I see! I think you'll find a very similar outcome then. THat's great news!
Thank you Elly, this is great! I would be very interested in see you cook (or even just have the recipes) for some of your favorite Indian vegetarian dishes. My vegetarian son is visiting and we all love Indian cooking. Maybe this is way off topic but I though I'd ask. Love all your videos!
Hi, thank you! I have been considering sharing some of my general cooking videos for years now (I do get requests from time to time) and am thinking about which channel I should put them on and which to share. They are pretty basic really! Thanks for your suggestion :)
Thank you for this demonstration, sure is helpful for me I learn by watching some one else do it, than read directons❤ I got my mockmill 200 last spring, I’m looking forward to your videos, and learn your method of sour dough starter. So far I have not been successful with one, or the one I did get right I didn’t like the taste, it was to strong tasting, I prefer a little sweeter taste.
Thanks Barbara, I'm so glad this was helpful for you. Make sure you have a look at all the videos on the home page of my channel, there are a lot there that you'd find helpful I think!
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough
Thank you I am looking forward to following and trying your recipes for bread making. All your videos have been helpful !!
Thank you for doing this video. Makes it so easy to take apart and clean. Very well explained. One suggestion…rather than wiping out the hopper with a damp cloth while on the machine, wait and clean it once it’s removed to avoid any moisture into the grinder.
Yes, good suggestion. I always make sure my cloth is well wrung out though.
I have one , I loved
Thank you SO much!!! My mill has been in the closet for months, because I couldn't figure out how to reset it!!!
Oh I'm so glad I could help Trina!
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough it did help! I got it all fixed and ready to go!! 🥳🥳🥳
Oh, that's brilliant! Good on you.
Very useful. Thank you. The instructions on the adjustment wasn't very clear to me and after watching you, I think I understand now.
Great to hear!
Nice video 👍
Thanks for the visit
I just purchased the Mockmill 200 yesterday,
As I a typical man who is always repairing and converting items, I was impressed with your illustration on this product, you came over very knowledgeable hitting the key points I needed to see, thank you,
My positive information passing to you would be ` when you adjust and here the noise of the stones slightly rubbing that`s the ticking sound,when setting to fine ground there will be very fine particle dust caused by that friction from the stones touching ,
So I would advice set the lever a fraction back until the noise is so faint then first throw rice down there, then throw it away that would remove any fine dust particles coursed by that setting you don where the ticking noise appears
I know this is what they suggest it should be set at, but when to stones rub they do course very fine dust that you might not see in your flour but it will be there,and setting it to where I suggest should not make much of a difference to the fineness of the flour but you will have less wear on the stones and fractional minimal stone dust particles in your flour,
I also would like to say any one who may feel grit type in there bread should realize if you have done some course grinding be for and not cleaned the machine correctly then gone back to do fine grain after a week or so the chances are not grit from stones, its old grain particles,
Have you had any particles in your bread from this machine?
Also does this machine heat the flour. if so how much flour can you mill be for you realize the heat ?
parttical
Thanks for your comments. The mill does heat the flour slightly but only to around 40C. Congratulations on getting your mill!
Thanks Elly, I have had my Mockmill over a year, and recently I noticed more vibration, so I decided it was time to clean it, I watched this how to, and pulled mine apart side by side to your demo. Mine was very compacted with flour, so thankyou for your demmo, much easier than written instructions. The job is now done and I won't leave it so long for a clean out in future. Love my Mockmill, its the best investment ever. PS Do you know anywhere in WA I can find Khorasan grain?
That's so good Lisa! Glad this was helpful. Not sure of anyone selling it in WA, but you could check the suppliers listing on my website :)www.ellyseveryday.com/grain-suppliers-in-australia
Hey was amazed to hear the word Daal from you,
I love dal! It's a staple in our diet.
Maybe if I had a separate vac but I’m thinking of all the germs a vacuum would touch and not sure if I would want that in my food! Lol but great video! I just got mine today!
Love all your videos. Thank you. Is there any reason why you don’t flip the unit over and tap the bottom to get flour out?
Thank you. These mills are quite heavy, but I probably would have done that if I thought of it. Thanks :)
Thank you for the great video. Im looking at buying one of these! I was wondering how the durabilty of the casing would be? Since its made out of some new arboblend material I have not heard about before, but looks nice and its a lot cheaper than the wooden alternative.
I think they are very durable. I've had mine for over five years now and it's still perfect!
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough thanks for your reply! Sounds great. How much flour can you mill at once on the finest setting? I usually bake 3 large bread tins which is about 2.5 kg flour sometimes even a bit more.
I usually mill about half to one kilo at a time, but I'm sure you could do up to/around 2kg without any problems!
Completely off-topic: my husband wants a whole grain, sourdough, English muffin. Do you have a recipe, dear? Your whole grain expertise & sharing have blessed our lives. Thanks in advance for your reply!!
Hi Carol, that's a great topic! Yes, I've been working on a recipe and am really keen to do a video for English muffins soon. Getting the right baking/cooking setup is the biggest hurdle with muffins, but I've got some nice options almost worked out. Thanks for prompting me to get to this!
USA I really want the mock mill, I have a wondermill
They are wonderful mills.
Hello Elly, thank for the informative video. You mentioned in the video that you make your own oat milk; do you use the Mockmill to do so? If so, could you explain your process? Many thanks,
Thanks Seydou. You can use the mockmill to grind the oats coarsely, but these days I've been using rolled oats. I blend about 2/3 cup of rolled oats with 4-5 cups of cold water for about 1 minute. Don't over blend or the milk will be slimy. I also add a 1/8 tsp each of salt and bicarb soda (helps if you're using the milk for coffee). You can also add a tablespoon of lecithin granules, that helps to emulsify it. Then I just strain it through a fine sieve or piece of light cotton cloth and squeeze out. You can add sweeteners too if you like, but it keeps longer without them and I don't think it's needed.
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough got it. Many thanks. Take Care!
I wish they had your machine in stock so I could get started making my own flour. They say on the site to pre-order for an expected mid March 2024 delivery. So I think I will order.
Oh gosh, yes they are very popular! Thanks for the update.
Thx Elly. Did you have a different mill before the mockmill?
No, it's the first and only one I've owned. It's superb in my opinion.
Hi Elly I really like all your videos I have a mockmill 100 I took the top off to get the shipping blocks off I must add they were not there And I don’t have those black marks on mine I did turn my top tight then backed it off I hope I have it right I turned it on and put a bit of rice through it and it worked all right did you mark yours or was the marks there when you got it I’m from Canada and I’m just starting to grind my own flour You have really helped me Thanks
Hi Laura, the marks were on mine when I got it, but it was years ago now so perhaps they've changed their process a bit? I'm a bit concerned that your shipping blocks weren't there. I'd ask the supplier about that.
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough Thanks ELLY for getting back to me I did find out in my book that the mockmill 100 doesn’t have the shipping blocks I don’t know why I love it I really enjoy your videos Keep up the good work
So strange! Oh well, it mustn't have needed it.
Elly, thanks for this video. A good reminder that my MockMill is due for a cleaning! Have you thought of doing a video on how you make oat milk? Granted, oat milk is not bread (or soap!) but given how organized and methodical you are, I bet you have a system down pat that many could benefit from. I made some recently for the first time and it was a complete mess, the texture was poor and the taste uninteresting. Just a thought!
P.S. Just saw the comment below and your reply. I thought the same thing when you mentioned your Indian cooking! Go for it, if you can find the time!
Thanks Arlo, yes I've had requests on how to make my oat milk (and other types) before and I'm never sure where to put them! I might write it up as a recipe for my blog and share it as a post to the channel so people can read/find from there.
Hi Elly. Help! I have the 200 and it has started to jam every time I use it. I have moved the lever to 10 to clear it and that has cleared the stones but now it is completely stuck. I cannot even move the lever to 10 for fear of breaking it. I cannot unwind the top like you demonstrated. Can you suggest anything to fix it? Thank you.
Oh dear! Sounds like the grains inside might have glued it together a bit! I'd email Mockmill in Germany and see what they say. I haven't come across that before mockmill.com/int/help/support
Last question before I buy one. Is the finest setting good for backing cake ?
Yes absolutely! I use my Mockmilled flour for all of my cakes :)
First time I cleaned my Mockmill I put it upside down to get rid of the dust.
One spring got lost.
I had to order a new one.
The day the new spring came in I found the other one...
Ah, always the way.
Hi Elly l am from Melbourne just wondering what’s the difference between the 100 & the 200. I have never used one before and does it come with an Australian plug. What’s the cost of the 100 & the 200. Can’t we get anything similar here in Australia. Please let me know
Hi Bernadette, yes, you can absolutely buy these in Australia! The 100 and the 200 are exactly the same except the motor is more powerful on the 200 model so it mills the flour twice as fast. Either would be wonderful though, they are truly excellent quality mills. In Australia, you can get them from Vanrooy Machinery in Melbourne. All the details including my code for a 5% discount are here www.ellyseveryday.com/home-milling-mockmill-links
I've just heard from Vanrooy today that they have full stock on all the models! It's a good time to buy one if you can make the investment. I will be sharing a post about this tonight on social media if you follow me there (instagram or facebook). Thanks for your enquiry.
Your bread must radiate pure goodness.
Thanks Peter. They don't always look pretty, but yes, goodness they have!
THX for the vdo. Can you also grind coffee with this grinder?
You're welcome. No, coffee is too oily. This is just for grain, legumes and non oily spices.
Hi Elly! How fine should I mill soft white for muffins? Thanks!
As fine as possible!
Hi Elly, I've looked most places but can't seem to find an answer so am hoping you can help me... can you mill dried roots and leaves in this?
Hi Mel, yes I think you can! As long as the milling produce is dry and not oily (ie. no seeds) it should mill quite nicely. I know people who mill spices, herbs and other things in with their grain for bread making. Works really well!
Do you have a video on Oat Milk?
No, but it's easy to make. Just use cold water (to prevent slimy texture) and blend for no longer than one minute before straining :)
Hi Elly! As a sourdough 100% rye bread baker I was debating on whether or not to upgrade to the mockmill. Do you ever experiment with ryemeal? What would it look like with the Mockmill? Is there a taste difference than using just the #1 setting? I'm guessing the #1 setting is the same as the Vitamix result but really don't know if there is a difference. I have been on the fence to get the Mockmill because I've had a Vitamix now for 40 years but am really interested in experimenting with the rye meal vs fine flour for health reasons. Whole grains are acclaimed to be better for you and I've incorporated lots of whole grain mixes (cooked) into my breads for this reason. Would be great if you could share any experiences you've had along these lines. Btw, congrats on your new affiliation!
Hi! I mill whole rye flour all the time in my Mockmill, and yes it's easy to adjust the setting for a more coarse grind. I tend just to use the fine whole rye flour (I never sift it), but it's still full of the bran and is lovely to bake with! The flavour is the same for any flour with the Mockmill, it's just the texture that changes as you increase the coarseness of the flour/meal.
These videos show a bit on how I bake with rye flour, you might enjoy them:
Simple 100% Whole Grain Rye Sourdough Bread czcams.com/video/fnZzKd9NpuA/video.html
100% Whole Grain Rye Sourdough with Seeds czcams.com/video/HCn3EetWF5g/video.html
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough Yes, I've seen your videos and I use pumpkin and sunflower seeds in every bake but yet, my question remains. I've never seen you use the rye meal.... just the finely ground (which is what I make with the Vitamix). I was just wondering if you ever experimented with the coarseness of the rye
and what your opinion is on the Vitamix vs. the Mockmill. Would getting a Mockmill be a step up from the Vitamix for making whole grain rye breads? As you know me from Wholegrain Sourdough Baker, ~ Heidi Joy
Hi Heidi, I've never used a vitamix for my grain so I'm not sure, and you're right, I only use the rye flour, so I can't really say much about rye meal. If you only want to use rye meal, then I'm not sure a stone mill will be of any further use to you. If the blender gives you the coarse meal you want, then is there a need to upgrade? If you're wanting flour though, then I completely recommend a Mockmill!
Its that ok during grinding we pour drain water on it... ??
so the result like poridge.
Hi, no I would not add any water!! You will damage the mill if you use water. It's for dry grain only.
I’m definitely going to buy a mockmill BUT I can’t find anywhere on the interwebs what is the difference between the 100 - 200 do you know what the difference is ?
Hi Tracey, yes I do know that! The only difference is motor size. The 200 has a more powerful (but otherwise same quality) motor than the 100 and mills the flour faster than the 100. Both machines are excellent quality and identical in every other way.
Get the 200 it grinds twice as fast. And the more powerful motor will not overheat.
Ella can you please tell me What is the difference between Mockmill 100 or 200?
They are almost identical, just that the 200 has a more powerful motor and mills the grain twice as fast. Both are excellent quality machines though.
Hello.. What is the difference between Mukmil 200 and Mukmil 100? What is the engine power of your mill? Thank you
The Mockmill 200 has a more powerful motor and mills the grain twice as fast, other than that they are identical. Sorry, but I'm not sure of the exact engine power of this mill. You could find the specifications on the Mockmill website.
I got mine ,iam gutted I have tried yo use it the first time by running rice and now it's stuck,the lever is blocked any idea what I did wrong please helppp
Take it apart as I've demonstrated, and see what's going on! Clean it out, put back together and try again.
Is there shipping to the UAE?
Yes, Deliver Deli in the UK ship worldwide. I have a discount code for their shop if you would like to look into it further www.ellyseveryday.com/home-milling-mockmill
I heard that you can use popcorn to make cornmeal is that true
Hi, no, you cannot use popcorn in a Mockmill.
Can you ground fine almond flour in this mill?
No, nuts and seeds are generally too oily for a stone mill, and will clog it up.
@ellyswholegrainsourdough Ah yes ofcourse! Not sure what I was thinking x)
Can I use this mill to get fine Kidney and Garbanzo Bean flour?
Yes, definitely! With garbanzo beans I run them through on coarse setting first, then again on fine setting for a nice fine flour. It works so well.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my email, BIG HELP, Thank you!! Blessings from Oklahoma
You're welcome! I've been away on a trip, but just about caught up now :)
The link didn’t work for me. Or at least the discount didn’t work. Any suggestions?
All the links here are current and active, there have been some updates www.ellyseveryday.com/home-milling-mockmill-links
Is that oat groats or what type of oats are you using?
Yes they are whole oat groats.
What’s the difference between the 100 and 200?
The 200 has a more powerful motor and mills twice as fast, all else is the same.
I just purchased a mockmill 200 and It does not have any marks to set up the little lever....I tried to run rice through it today as instructed for first time use and it keeps jamming up....I've tried 5 or 6 times taking it apart, resetting it up resetting the grind as per instructions with no luck what is goin on??????? I'm so dfrustrated... one think I did notice after unboxing it and following the instructions to take out the safety locks was that the top inner plastic disc was very hard to turn to get off....it looks really easy to turn on your machine
Oh Beth, that sounds very frustrating! I don't know what's going on there. I don't recall my top stone being hard to remove when I first bought my mill, though I don't think I removed it. Are your two springs still in place? I would contact Mockmill in Germany, their customer service is excellent. Or contact the supplier you bought the mill from, they should be able to guide you and check further to see if there's anything wrong with it. I hope you can get it sorted out soon!
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough Yes my springs are intact....thanks Elly
Does the 200 get hoter than the 100 ?
Not that I'm aware of.
Can u make cornmeal
If you have dent corn, yes.
I wish you could partner with Mockmill Canada. The discount of 5% would help. The machines are close to 500$ Canadian. Loved your demonstrations and info just the same. Linda, Quebec city, Canada
Hi Linda, thanks for your comment. I have partnered with A&B Grain Mills in Canada but they are not offering any discount to customers referred through me unfortunately (only a commission to me for the referrals). The mills have become very expensive here too given a lot of factors that have increased the cost in the last 6-12 months. I always keep this page up to date regarding mill discounts and links if you ever do decide to purchase one www.ellyseveryday.com/home-milling-mockmill-links Thanks for your input and feedback, it's much appreciated.
We’re you able to find a deal on a mock mill? I’m in Canada too and the cheapest I found was $499 for a 100
@@kelleyleblanc5025 No not so far but to be honest, I have put it on the back burner for now. Thanks for asking!
@@lindacampbell316 thank you for responding! It’s quite the investment so a lot of thinking is required

I'm not sure what you mean by black line...
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough the mill. To line it up. Mine has none. I just got a new one and was trying to figure it out.
