Has anybody tried this to separate the bran out of freshly milled whole wheat flour?

Not freshly milled but I do use an Irish flour from King Arthur for a brown bread and the bran does get nicely separated when I sift the flour.

Yes i have used it for cornmeal a couple times and did a fine flour texture too.

I have not tried making flour. I use to make rejuvilac. But this is a great product and believe it will work for you

I purchased this attachment for that purpose, and I DON'T RECOMMEND IT! We are a family of Celic Disease sufferers, so in order to cut costs on grains/flours, I buy many items in bulk and grind them. This thing will NOT work for that. Nor will it work for nuts. The grain/nut paste gets caught in the grinder and cannot push it through the faceplate quickly enough. It ends up pushing the plastic ring casing off its mount and can even snap it. I worried it was also going to burn out the motor. It's really just a disaster.If you are interested in grinding those items, I REALLY recommend investing in a good burr grinder. I have had the best luck with them in grinding grain.

I find that I don't like this in cakes. The bran changes the ratio of gluten to fat and liquid, which is essential in cake making. However, I really like this flour in quick breads because they are supposed to be more dense. It also works wonders in cookies, waffles, and pancakes.

If you use a preferment in making your bread, use this flour. The water will soften the the bran in the flour.

Hello... First, I'm very pleased with mine. It works very well. I clean the detachable parts with soap and water and the inside of the nozzle that is on the side of the machine with a toothpick. That loosens any caked on flour. I then turn the machine sideways to knock out any flour bits. Very easy. The outside of the mill I simply wiped down with a damp cloth. I hope this helps.

If you mean straining grains like those used in brewing beer - I am sure that a double layer would do the trick. I have not tried it personally, but I have brewed beer and know the size of grain produced in the brewing process. Good luck - and please do let the rest of us know if you try it out and it works.

I wish I could answer for you. Sorry. We haven't tried the wheatgrass. From everything I've read about extractors, the mechanisms in this style (masticating) are ideal for extracting wheatgrass without heating or destroying enzymes, but I've not tried it personally.

Other than very fine, I don't know how such sizes are rated. It does do a good job of separating the wheat husks from the flour. Put differently, I cannot push one of my wife's sewing pins all the way through it.

I have used this to make almond flour, but I have not tried peanuts or peanut butter.

I made both whole wheat, and 70% wholewheat. Both great but I find that 100% is better made with a 1.5 tablespoons of sugar instead of molasses. Less dense and sticky. I also made the "Seven Grain' loaf using '10 grain cereal" - great but next time I shall use sugar instead of the molasses.

I have not. I have used this a number of times to make sourdough bread in the oven and it works well. Any whole wheat produces denser bread no matter the method of cooking.

I grind wheat berries in mine all the time. It works well. Just don't expect much at a time. I get two cups of flour in about fifteen minutes then I let the grinder cool. It's enough for some delicious wheat bread.

I have not. I use them for flour and sugar. If Anchor Hocking has a website, perhaps they can answer your queston.

I suggest that you use half whole wheat flour and half white flour, not all whole wheat.

it is more like whole wheat flour, heavier than regular wheat flour, somewhere in between. You need to try, it might work.
