I did when I first started using the Nutrimill, and it turned into a paste and gummed up the stones. Not good! The best solution I've found is to sift it. There are some electric sifters on Amazon that would probably make the flour ultra fine, I just already have so many big appliances out on the counter I didn't want to add any more. I've also read they get flour everywhere!
@@TheFarmhouseMom thank you, also I’m a little concerned that while I was milling, my nutrimill got warm and then turned off. Then when I opened it it was gummed in. Im waiting for it to cool down and see if it will turn on. Have you ever had that happen?
@@yuliyasushchik4158 yes. When it gets too hot it will automatically shut down. Let it cool and then turn it back on, and run some rice through to clean it.
Should the grains be soaked before using them in the bread machine? Also, does anything special need to be done when making bread machine bread with freshly milled wheat berries?
No, you don’t want to soak the berries before grinding. I think you would just make your recipe as normal, you possibly may need to add a little more liquid with fresh. I would make your recipe as normal, see how it turns out, and adjust as needed!
Typically I will just add my grain after “backing off” a bit initially. But you’re saying it’s okay to turn to a more fine grind once you add grain? I had never heard that was okay to do!
Yes! In the user manual, page 5, it says "you may adjust the control knob during milling. Clockwise for finer flour and counterclockwise for coarser flour".
The stones are made from synthetic corundum. I do not believe they contain aluminum, but I’m sure you could contact NutriMill if you want to be 100%! They are pretty good about returning emails.
Have You tried to give it more than one pass to make it finer?

@@TheFarmhouseMommy stones got gummed up. Can you fix them or I have to return it?
@@yuliyasushchik4158 grind some rice through it and it should clean all the gumminess off.

Oh bless you!! A simple thing as watching you turn the knob left or right solved my problem!! You helped when no one could!
You're welcome! I struggled when I first started and there were no helpful videos to watch so I thought I’d make one!
Thank you!!!
You’re the first video I found that talked about how far I can turn the stones down. I was concerned if it would ruin the machine.
You are welcome! Yes me too, it was trial and error to figure it out.
This video was very helpful to me! Thank you for sharing! Will look forward to more vidoes from you. 😊
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching. I have some new NutriMill videos coming next week.
Great info! Thank You.
You are so welcome!
Always unplug your grinder before taking apart and putting your fingers inside. Blessings❤️🌺
Yes! Thank you!

Hello there. May I ask where did you get your storage containers from that your wheat berries are in?
Hi! I think just I got them at TJ Maxx….
Do you know if there is aluminum in the stone that grinds?
The stones are made from synthetic corundum. I do not believe they contain aluminum, but I’m sure you could contact NutriMill if you want to be 100%! They are pretty good about returning emails.
Where did you purchased the grit sifters?
So sorry for the late reply! I got them on Amazon, I will link them for you.
@@TheFarmhouseMom thank you so much.
@@bobbyq4me you're welcome! I just added the link to the description.
