How to clean grain "Fresh" from the farm
My father in law grows Montana Spring wheat.
I can get as much as I want, straight out of the combine. He has a grain cleaner, and mill for large batches of flour, but I dont want to spend a week cleaning the mill before I use it. if I bring a 50# bag of wheat berries home, how do I clean the chaff, dirt, bugs out of my wheat?
I can clean, sort the big pieces from the wheat in small handfulls.
Question, Can I rinse the berries before I mill them? and how should I dry them after that (in the oven?)
anone else have this "problem"
If your FiL has a cleaner, find out how it works and see about replicating the process but in small scale.
