So I got a Vitamix dry container and managed to mill my own wheat berries. Made some whole wheat bread that turned out pretty decent.

How many of you do this?

What is your setup and how often are you milling your own flour?

My first post since moving away from Reddit. Please be kind. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Wecome to Lemmy! I have a Mockmill 100 and mill on demand for baking or feeding starter, maybe once a week or so. I don't bother with sifting as I feel like the flour is plenty fine on the finest setting. I use white whole wheat berries from Azure Standard (pick-up), although sometimes I throw in some spelt or einkorn or red wheat. I've even milled chickpea flour.

I've found that I get a little more rise and/or oven spring out of home-milled flour compared to store bought. You've also gotta be willing to do a lot of whole wheat, of course, because this thing sure doesn't put out white flour.
