    • Anyone here have a hand crank grain mill in the house, and have any recommendations for a good one?

    I'm thinking grinding my own peanut butter might be worthwhile, so useful for that too.

    • I was hoping this thread would get some responses, Shin! I'm interested in this myself.

    • I have the Family Grain mill but you wouldn't do peanut butter in it, a good old fashioned blender is best for that.  There is a hand crank Vortex blender out there too.

    • We once had a hand operated stone grain mill, https://miracleexclusives.com/samap-manual-stone-mill-p-90.html
    but replaced it many years ago with an electric SAMAP stone mill, as it was just too tedious to grind the amount of flour we needed. http://www.saltoftheearth.com.au/Samap-Grain-Mills/ Ours is the first one to appear.

    I cannot imagine that you could possible grind peanuts in a grain mill. Grain mills are for dry goods and peanuts are oily. It would wreck the mill to do that.

    • Thanks, this has been a great help.

    I hadn't realized the problems that might come up with peanuts.

    • I have a Country Living Grain Mill which I love. It is a hand crank with a fly wheel. It's not too hard to use. I have had it for a few years with no problems. It is easy to adjust the fineness of the grind to get the texture you want.

    You can get it directly from the guy who makes them at Country Living Grain Mills in Washington or from  Pleasant Hill Grain in Nebraska.

    I make peanut butter using a food processor.
