Grinding Flour
Hello
I'm saving up for a new grinder (I think I've decided on the Wondermill, but if anyone has better opinions on the Nutrimill or poor opinions on the Wondermill, please let me know!) but until I get one, I do have a Vitamix with both the wet and the dry grinding bowl. I've yet to use it for flour, though, and I'd appreciate any tips, tricks, and/or anecdotes anyone would care to share. If you've used it or are using it, does it do a pretty good job?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a Wondermill Jr, and really like it for a couple of reasons. First, it has both stones and steel burrs, so you can grind almost anything. Second, though it is hand-powered there are several options for motorizing it (you can even get a kit to hook it up to a bicycle!). Third, it's built like a tank and will probably last a lot longer than I will. I regularly use it to mill hard spring wheat, Red Fife, rye and spelt and have also milled my own sprouted grains. It makes lovely flour and is very easy to clean.
Thank you so much, that is just what I needed to know and wanted to hear. lol I apprecite your taking the time to give me such a thorough yet concise, informative answer. Merry Milling and happy baking!
Junior is out o=for me. I have the Nutrimill and used to have a Wondermil. Both are good mills and comparable to each other. Thery both sound like a jet plane taking off. The main difference is tat you can load the Nurimill and then start it, With the Wondermill you have to have the mill running before you load the grain.
Thanks so much! Do you find that made a significant difference, regarding convenience?
