Getting Started Grinding Our Own Flours And Cornmeal With A Commercial Vevor Grain Grinder

Starting to grind our own flours for baking and seeing the excellent results I have had with Vevor products I decided to contact them to see if they would let me try one for making videos. Well they agreed and this thing is awesome. A little more then most people need as it is a commercial model but affordable and powerful. You be the judge as it is the first mill I have used so I have nothing else to compare it to.

Don't want to clog up your comment section too much but I had to offer my prayers for your wife that everything is fine and she is well and has no further troubles.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thank you. She just came home and is feeling better. They could not pinpoint exactly what caused it, but suspect the extensive dental work with anesthesia she had a couple days before may have triggered it. They saw no cardiac damage so hopefully after some rest she will be fine. Thanks for watching .

[@BiornBear]

All our prayers are with you. I’m sure all of us would jump if you need anything. Keep us posted please. If you need a a drive I’m just Cortland so not far buddy. God Bless you.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. She is home and resting now. Thanks for watching.

[@mjay4700]

Nice display of the machine and its use as well as those neat buckets/lids. Hope that your wife pulls through okay! Sending good prayers.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. I just posted an update in the comments. Picked her up a couple minutes ago and she is home now. Thanks for watching.

[@lisawilson7889]

Curious to know why you went with such a large commercial grinder for home use? I'm all for getting the best tool I can, but found that a Mockmill does great for the volumes I need for home baking.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Because I wanted to try it and see how it worked. I looked at the small counter top mills first but the ones that could regrind finer were pretty slow. The commercial rated mockmill was $200 more then this. This one can also crack corn for animal feed. In an emergency this could feed the whole town. Someday I would like to get a good stone mill but they were too expensive to get started with. Thanks for watching.

[@kateristrobel2022]

My husband and I will be praying for your beautiful wife. God bless you guys.

[@fredhaydt6351]

Any advice on initial dial setting? Just received mine and before I power it up want to make sure it's backed off enough to not grind the discs. Then waste a bunch of rice or corn to get it dialed in.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

I backed mine off and switched it on and off fast to be sure they didn't rub. I think rice is best for cleaning and setting the grind. For fine flour it sounds like they are kissing before the wheat berries are added. Corn I have found it is easier to grind coarse and remove the outer shell parts with wind and sisters then do the fine grind. Have fun. I have an idea for 3d printing a container lid with a built in filter to catch the dust eventually. Thanks for watching.

[@ericeinsmann5559]

What is it with Vevor anyway? Up until a year ago, I had never heard of them.. Now, it seems like they make EVERYTHING! I'm waiting for the Vevor Home Nuclear Reactor or the Vevor Orbital satellite kit. Just kidding.. Seems like it does a good job..

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

They remind me of the Montgomery Ward catalog back when I grew up. I am on the list for one of the first Home Nuclear Power Plants when it is released 🤫. I have had excellent luck with everything I have been sent and bought from them so far. They have extremely attractive price points that I like and their stuff works as promised. Thanks for watching.

[@donz6901]

Unless I missed it, did you mention any update on your wife's visit at the hospital. Is she home now? Hope all is well with you and your wife. Don from Milwaukee I was adding this during your video and I did hear at the end about your wife. Yes, please update 🙏

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

I see you found the update. She is home and doing pretty good. Seems to have been caused by dental work done a couple days before. I will try to finish this up this week. Thanks for watching.

[@sandracunningham2689]

I hope all is now okay with your wife. Prayers and well wishes that she is feeling better. Garden Answers did a thing on wheat just recently it was from a small patch she grew. Learned a lot about the process and different flours. The prices on the small mills and the large ones are decent. You can always store flour in the freezer after you mill it. I really hope all is well life is so sad without our loved ones.Just read wife is on the way home. Yes great news...🍞🍕

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thank you. I just posted in the community section that she is now home and feeling better. Alot of wheat and corn are grown locally so we are looking for a local source eventually. This mill is overkill for our needs but could supply the whole town in an emergency. It was sad to see the reaction by our dog last night when her mom wasn't home. They are both resting now. Thanks for watching.

[@weorganicsphere]

We tried it but the grinder stopped working and triggers hazard alert on the line. Any help and advise appreciated

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Do you have a dedicated 20 amp circuit with ample size wire for the run? Chamber empty when it is turned on. I don't know what a Hazzard alert is but you probably want to contact Vevor and see what they say. Thanks for watching.

[@weorganicsphere]

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I tried with generic one so it worked for some time and then we got a dedicated 20 am circuit. It tried to start - but does not and trigger main circuit locks - you see that red thing in the main switch shows up. So I have to switch off the alert then try again. Thanks for responding. Appreciate it.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

That doesn't sound right. Be sure the wire size run to the outlet is 12awg for up to 50 feet run and 10 awg for a longer run with a 20 amp breaker at the box. Verify you have approx 120 volts coming from the street. Be sure the grinding chamber is empty and the burr plates are not touching and are clean. Be sure the new outlet isn't one of the cheap Chinese ones. Contact Vevor if that's all good because I have never had that light come on.

[@incorectulpolitic]

Do the grinding plates wear down/out overtime ?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Yes I think they will as grains are abrasive. Like all mills after a couple thousand pounds they may need replacing. Do not adjust them so fine that they contact or you will see accelerated wear and possibly metal chips. Plus check all grains for stones and contaminants that can damage them instantly. Clean grain is a must with any mill. Mine came with an extra set. Thanks for watching.

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, Sorry to hear that the Boss is not feeling all that great, And I wish her a speedy recovery, as it looks like you will be needing her help to make bread, I don’t want to see you start loafing about 😂. The Grindr looks very impressive., if you have not already got one, A dough maker, and a bread oven, I hope all goes well with your wife, and look forward to seeing you both soon, Phil from the moulin France.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. she is home now and doing better. My wife is the dough maker and hopefully she will be ready soon to try the flours. Bread oven. is a great idea. I got all the loafing out of my system sitting in uncomfortable chairs in the hospital for a. day. Thanks for watching.

[@philvale5724]

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Hi 👋 glad to hear 👂, the Boss is back home, and doing well, There is something very strange going on with replies coming back from people that I’ve sent messages to on KZbin, I’ve stopped getting notification for some unknown reason so the only way I can find out if you or someone else replied, is going back to previous KZbin tutorials like I’ve just done for you, it obviously sent a message back that you replying to my comment, but It hadn’t shown up in part of a reply system. What normally happens, I have to go back and find who I have look for and then re-click on what I watched to find out if somebody every left to reply, this as only happened in the last two weeks?. To all of my comments, Anyway, Glad to hear your wife is back safe and sound, And I can smell the bread being cooked now from you both, here. good luck, look forward to your next territorial. Phil from the moulin.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Thanks. I do not get all my reply messages either plus no longer get follow up comments to the original comment. Im guessing AI is trying to cutdown on things like this to save computer spave with the millions of comments a second youtube deals with. Just found this myself paging through old comment.

[@Ladythyme]

Boy you do love your gadgets 😂😂😂…looks like this will suit your needs two fold 😊

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Yes I have fun learning how new gadgets work. This could feed an army or good for a farm with chickens and pigs to crack corn for. Thanks for watching.

[@MadHatter764]

You said 300W but the label said 3 KW. That’s nearly 30 Amps at 110V assuming a power factor of 1.0

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Yes its 3000w. That's why it didn't come with a plug. I used a 30 amp RV plug but the instructions call for a 45 amp breaker so when I permanently install a plug it will probably switch to a 50 amp circuit. I have to check it with my clamp meter because that would mean about 3 hp. Its a commercial machine made for about 60 kg an hour. Thanks for watching.

[@fredhaydt6351]

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 so no issues with a 30 amp thus far? Understand the startup current may be in the 63 amp range from Vevor's website but starting it unloaded is a process to keep things in a good spot.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

@@fredhaydt6351 I am now running it on a dedicated 20 amp line with a very short 12 gauge wire feeding it and high surge delay. No problem yet. I just bought a high end clamp meter with inrush I will throw on it to see what it actually is unloaded.

[@georgezahra6469]

Do you think it can grind broad beans?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

I think they are to large and would bind up in the feed tube. Best to contact Vevor with that question. Thanks for watching.

[@mikek5493]

Does the grain get very warm or hot when grinding

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

It gets warm. Just also bought a Mockmill 200 and that makes the flour much warmer. Guess it takes a big expensive mill to control the heat. Thanks for watching.

[@KP-oe8sk]

Trust your Wife is doing well!!! ? The machine looks like it can Brown out the Rochester area??? The flour will be very tasty!!!! Take care.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Yes she is home and resting now. This machine could feed an army. Thanks for watching.

[@HeylingJimenez-p2n]

Yo compre uno pero cuando lo conecto se va la energía

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

It needs a 3000 watt 120 volt power supply with a 45 amp circuit breaker. You have to install the special plug and have it properly wired. Thanks for watching.

[@hdrvman]

I will consider the Vevor as a few years ago Amazon and Wal-Mart had 24# buckets of Augason Farms wheat berries for $18.00 shipped !! I ordered 40 buckets !! 25 year shelf life.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Wish I could find a deal like that now. I will finish grinding the rest of the grains in the next part. This grinder is overkill but so far does a wonderful job. Thanks for watching

[@bassemhaddad]

Did the machine grainded big size ?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

it's adjustable. can crack corn or grind fine flour. Thanks for watching.

[@zenaidacagadas7847]

How much this machine?

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

There's a link to the current price in the description. Prices have been going up due to inflation lately so the website is the most accurate. Thanks for watching.

[@josephmoodler2711]

Thank you for doing this. I have been considering a grain grinder and this video was very helpful.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

We have wanted to try this for a while and glad we finally got to it. This is my first try so probably not doing everything right but the flour looks nice. This grinder is definitely overkill for us but in an emergency could feed an army with a wheat or corn supply. Many smaller models available also. Do some research to find the best mill for you. Can't wait to finish up the grinding and get baking. Wheat berries will store 25 years unground so looking for a good affordable supply now. Wheat shortages are very close to reality lately. Hopefully I can finish up the second part soon. Thanks for watching.

[@josephmoodler2711]

I agree with your thoughts on the wheat supply and that is why I am looking at getting a mill. I will be eager to see your follow up video - but make sure your wife is ok first.

[@billymacktexasdetective5827]

We ground grain in the 80's. I remember going to the co-op with my mom to pick up 5 gallon buckets of peanut butter, powered milk, whole grain etc... It was one of my chores each week to grind the grain and make bread... I can cook and bake because of my mom. ❤

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

You were one of the lucky ones that actually took the time to learn skills that would help you later in life. I can't wait to try baking something with fresh ground flour that has no preservatives in it. Thanks for watching.

[@jbenson9403]

my dad would store grain in 55 gallon drum. In plastic bag (drum size) and a chuck of dry ice

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

That actually may be a good idea once we settle on the wheat and corn we like best. Thanks for watching.

Ed, I'm sort of surprised that no one makes a mill attachment for #12 and larger meat grinder motor's as an accessory.
