Fresh milled flour is awesome for pancakes! also, sift off some of the germ and bran. It will lighten it quite a bit. Save the germ and bran that you sifted in the freezer to add to recipes for Irish brown soda bread and dusting the outside of your bread loaves. Whole wheat flour with all the germ and bran still in it will go bad faster so in future I recommend milling it as you need it. The wheat berries will stay fresh for a lot longer in their berry form. Milling releases the oils in the germ and bran and the oils go rancid. That's why whole wheat flour has less of a shelf life than white flour. Thanks for all of your amazing content Laura. I don't know what I would do without you.

In England the barns have big doors opposite each other so that thrashing can be done, winnowing too allowing the through draft to take the chaff . The wheat berries being heavier drop and the chaff blows away. To stop the berries being blown away at ground level, boards were slotted into the doors, they were called thrasholds which became in common usage threshold .

Here in India, we usually buy wheat in bulk during the harvest season (around April here) and store it in aluminium grain bins for the whole year and most people have a flour mill at their home in which you can grind fresh flour. You can also set the mill depending upon if you want smooth or coarse flour.

You almost certainly know this but I'll put add it for future readers who think the life of a home-making wife was easy. Mothers didn't usually work outside the home but that did not (and still doesn't) mean that they didn't work. Wheat was just a tiny part of what they did. And fathers/husbands didn't usually garden. So the mothers/wives did all of the gardening, the thrashing and winnowing, canning vegetables for the winter, smoking meats and bacon, etc., for the table and for winter, laundry by hand with a washboard and tub - that she hauled water for by herself. And then imagine how much more some wives had, spinning their own yarns and weaving or otherwise making their own clothes. The wife that didn't have the sheep and could buy fabric had it easy in comparison.

💎THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" (This may be a reminder for most people of God's words from Genesis: "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness." Suppose God is saying that "let us" make man in "our " picture, then "ours" shows two or more; since He said "ours," then God is not only one. In this way, man begins to think generally of different persons, and from these words came the idea of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. At the time Moses wrote Genesis, was after the creation of mankind following the creation of the world. In the beginning, when the world, Moses did not exist yet. And it was a long time before Moses wrote the Bible, so how could he possibly know what God said in heaven? He was unaware of how God created the world. What is written in the Old Testament is the work of Jehovah, a phase of the work of God Himself for ushering in the Age of Law. This is the work of God, where as He spoke, it happened, and as He commanded, it remained. When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. When man speaks of separate persons, does it not reflect God? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Doesn't the Spirit of God simply carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives?" Because of this, there is no distinction between persons.) Almighty God said This can be a REMINDER for most PEOPLE of GOD'S WORDS from GENESIS: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Suppose GOD says "we" will CREATE MAN in "our" IMAGE, then "we" SHOWS TWO or MORE; since He SAID "we," then GOD is NOT one. IN THIS WAY, MAN BEGAN TO THINK GENERALLY OF DIFFERENT PERSONS, AND FROM THESE WORDS HAD THE IDEA OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. What then does the Father look like? What does the Son look like? And what does the Holy Spirit look like? ☀️🙏 Could it be that the present man was made in the image of the one who was put together from the three? Then is the image of man like that of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit? 🙏 WHICH of the persons of GOD is the image of MAN? This idea of MAN is ABSOLUTELY WRONG and NONSENSE! It can only separate one God from several Gods. 🙏 AT THE TIME Moses WROTE GENESIS, it was AFTER MANKIND WAS CREATED AFTER THE CREATION OF THE WORLD. In the BEGINNING, when the WORLD began, Moses did NOT exist. And IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR MOSES TO WRITE THE BIBLE, so HOW could he possibly KNOW WHAT GOD SAID in HEAVEN?🙏☀️ He is UNCONSCIOUS of HOW GOD CREATED THE WORLD. 🙏 In the OLD TESTAMENT of the Bible, there is NO mention of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, only the TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH, is PERFORMING His WORK in ISRAEL. ☀️ He is CALLED by different NAMES in the CHANGING TIMES, but this DOESN'T PROVE that each NAME REFERES to a different PERSON. Therefore, then wouldn't there be countless persons of God? What is WRITTEN in the OLD TESTAMENT is the WORK of JEHOVAH, A PHASE of the WORK of GOD HIMSELF for the START of the Age of Law. This is GOD'S WORK, where ACCORDING to what He SPOKE, it happened, and ACCORDING to what He commanded, it REMAINS. 🙏💐 AT NO TIME DID JEHOVAH SAY HE WAS THE FATHER WHO WOULD COME TO EFFECT THE WORK, or did He even foretell the coming of the Son to redeem mankind. WHEN IT CAME TO THE TIME OF JESUS, it was only mentioned that GOD became MAN to REDEEM ALL MANKIND, NOT that the SON CAME. ☀️ Because the times are not the same and the work that God Himself carries out is also different, He has to carry out His work within different kingdoms. In this way, the identity He represents is also different. PEOPLE BELIEVE JEHOVAH IS THE FATHER OF JESUS, but JESUS DOESN'T REALLY ACKNOWLEDGE, saying: "We were never identified as Father and Son; I and the Father in heaven are one. The Father is in Me and I am in the Father; when men see the Son, they see the Father in heaven." ☀️😪 When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. By the time man attempts to explain, matters are complicated by the idea of different persons, as well as the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit. WHEN MAN TALKS ABOUT separate persons, does it not reflect GOD? 🙏🔅 Man even ranks persons as first, second, and third; these are all mere human understandings, unworthy of reference, and utterly unreal! If you ask him: "How many are there in God?" He will say that God is the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: the one true God. If you ask him: "Who is the Father?" He will say: The Father is the Spirit of God in heaven; He rules over all, and He is the Lord of heaven." "Then is Jehovah the Spirit?" ☀️ He will say: "Yes!" If you ask him afterwards, "Who is the Son?" He will say that Jesus is the Son, anyway: "Then what is the story of Jesus? From whom did He come?" He will say: "Jesus was born of Mary through the shadowing of the Holy Spirit. " ☀️ "Then is not His substance also Spirit? Does His work also represent the Holy Spirit? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Now in the last days, it goes without saying that the Spirit still works; how did He become different persons? Doesn't the Spirit of God just carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives? Because of this, there is no difference between personas. 🙏 From "Is There a Trinity?" Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13). The kingdom He brought down and set up in the highest in the sky so that it can occupy His creation in the universe and engrave on it the entirety of His Holy name "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) "And I say as for you, you are Peter, on top of this rock I will build my Church, that even the power of death will not prevail over it.". ... and "The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia" (Rev. 3:7-13). ... And fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem" 💫 "The Spirit enveloped me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed Me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down from heaven from God." (Rev. 3:7-13). ... " For the time has come in the house of God for the beginning of judgment in the house of God." (1 Peter 4:17). ... It is fulfilled that God Himself is our Pastor in (Rev. 7:17) 💐 "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their PASTOR. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes" 📩 Calling and leading the sheep of God to His glorious Throne "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐 to submit again to His authority so that He will continue to teach, guide and protect even in plague, famine and wild animals will not be moved by it and completely win this final battle with the big red dragon! "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and it will be fulfilled that will be established above the sky/KZbin in (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . . . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."📩📨❤

You want to make sure to run your mill completely clear of any stragglers, turning it back on with berries inside the machine can cause jamming and damage to your motor. I run mine several seconds after it has finished milling the berries. Btw: 1 cup of berries = 1 1/2 c of flour. Unless you’re feeding an army you want to keep it in berry form as long as possible rather than storing flour to keep the healthy nutrients. The finer the better.

I remember seeing farmers in the Philippines grinding their flour manually using like a huge mortar and pestle sort of. I thought that was very tiring. Harvesting them was even hard too. They'd cut the stems with wheat berries then they'll hold the end and slam it in a huge make up sifter. To take the chaff off, they'll put it in a circular pan called bilao, which is made of weaved coconut leaves and slowly and throw the wheats in the air, just like a chef would flip whatever they're cooking. I can't really explain it well, but all I know is, it's really hard work.

I started measuring by weight with my sour-dough bread but, now, I weigh most ingredients for everything I am cooking. I weigh cereal to water for my oatmeal, for my cream-of-wheat, I measure by weight for making spaghetti, or other dried pastas. I weigh ingredients for all bread products, including cakes, brownies, cookies, etc. I weigh rice and water for making rice. I also keep a log for all of those in a spreadsheet - I use Libre Office Calc. That way, if something isn't perfect, I will know what I did last, and what changes I have made over time. When I try to fix or improve something, I make usually just one change at a time, or at the very most, and rarely, two changes and then those are in the log as well so I can always tell the effects, for better or worse, of the changes and go back to what worked last if I need to, or I highlight successful changes that yield a great result in green background so I know that's the entry I want to repeat for great results.

I loved seeing this because it made me appreciate my wheat berries SO much more! I know that most of the grains we get have used commercial machines to do the process that she is doing by hand here, but seeing the winnowing process and realizing how time-consuming it was for those without commercial machinery is amazing to see - and also bringing to mind the scriptures of separating the wheat from the chaff! Thank you for this! It's a learning process and a journey. During my first month of using FMF (freshly milled flour) and then having my yearly bloodwork, in only one month, my cholesterol dropped 95 points and all I changed was the flour! Hallelujah, I'm doing this for LIFE! For premium vitamins and all that the whole grain offers, I mill only what I am needing for the recipe I am making. So rewarding and true satisfaction!

Freshly ground wheat flour is AMAZING to taste, vs bagged flour. Whole wheat flour can become rancid, so storing in smaller air-tight containers, and tap packing out the air before closing the lid really helps retain flavor. I appreciate the accurate information you provide, about the difference between soft and hard wheat flour and protein content.

Remember the whole wheat berries ground is whole wheat flour. You usually take 1-2 T. Per cup out when measuring whole wheat flour in a white flour recipe. So for a recipe with 4 cups flour you would measure 4 cups then remove 4-8 T. to have similar results as white. A quick bread like zucchini or banana bread would be fabulous with your flour. You could also mix it half and half with white flour for a lighter loaf. Wish I could smell your kitchen when those biscuits were baking!

💎THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" (This may be a reminder for most people of God's words from Genesis: "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness." Suppose God is saying that "let us" make man in "our " picture, then "ours" shows two or more; since He said "ours," then God is not only one. In this way, man begins to think generally of different persons, and from these words came the idea of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. At the time Moses wrote Genesis, was after the creation of mankind following the creation of the world. In the beginning, when the world, Moses did not exist yet. And it was a long time before Moses wrote the Bible, so how could he possibly know what God said in heaven? He was unaware of how God created the world. What is written in the Old Testament is the work of Jehovah, a phase of the work of God Himself for ushering in the Age of Law. This is the work of God, where as He spoke, it happened, and as He commanded, it remained. When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. When man speaks of separate persons, does it not reflect God? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Doesn't the Spirit of God simply carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives?" Because of this, there is no distinction between persons.) Almighty God said This can be a REMINDER for most PEOPLE of GOD'S WORDS from GENESIS: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Suppose GOD says "we" will CREATE MAN in "our" IMAGE, then "we" SHOWS TWO or MORE; since He SAID "we," then GOD is NOT one. IN THIS WAY, MAN BEGAN TO THINK GENERALLY OF DIFFERENT PERSONS, AND FROM THESE WORDS HAD THE IDEA OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. What then does the Father look like? What does the Son look like? And what does the Holy Spirit look like? ☀️🙏 Could it be that the present man was made in the image of the one who was put together from the three? Then is the image of man like that of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit? 🙏 WHICH of the persons of GOD is the image of MAN? This idea of MAN is ABSOLUTELY WRONG and NONSENSE! It can only separate one God from several Gods. 🙏 AT THE TIME Moses WROTE GENESIS, it was AFTER MANKIND WAS CREATED AFTER THE CREATION OF THE WORLD. In the BEGINNING, when the WORLD began, Moses did NOT exist. And IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR MOSES TO WRITE THE BIBLE, so HOW could he possibly KNOW WHAT GOD SAID in HEAVEN?🙏☀️ He is UNCONSCIOUS of HOW GOD CREATED THE WORLD. 🙏 In the OLD TESTAMENT of the Bible, there is NO mention of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, only the TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH, is PERFORMING His WORK in ISRAEL. ☀️ He is CALLED by different NAMES in the CHANGING TIMES, but this DOESN'T PROVE that each NAME REFERES to a different PERSON. Therefore, then wouldn't there be countless persons of God? What is WRITTEN in the OLD TESTAMENT is the WORK of JEHOVAH, A PHASE of the WORK of GOD HIMSELF for the START of the Age of Law. This is GOD'S WORK, where ACCORDING to what He SPOKE, it happened, and ACCORDING to what He commanded, it REMAINS. 🙏💐 AT NO TIME DID JEHOVAH SAY HE WAS THE FATHER WHO WOULD COME TO EFFECT THE WORK, or did He even foretell the coming of the Son to redeem mankind. WHEN IT CAME TO THE TIME OF JESUS, it was only mentioned that GOD became MAN to REDEEM ALL MANKIND, NOT that the SON CAME. ☀️ Because the times are not the same and the work that God Himself carries out is also different, He has to carry out His work within different kingdoms. In this way, the identity He represents is also different. PEOPLE BELIEVE JEHOVAH IS THE FATHER OF JESUS, but JESUS DOESN'T REALLY ACKNOWLEDGE, saying: "We were never identified as Father and Son; I and the Father in heaven are one. The Father is in Me and I am in the Father; when men see the Son, they see the Father in heaven." ☀️😪 When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. By the time man attempts to explain, matters are complicated by the idea of different persons, as well as the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit. WHEN MAN TALKS ABOUT separate persons, does it not reflect GOD? 🙏🔅 Man even ranks persons as first, second, and third; these are all mere human understandings, unworthy of reference, and utterly unreal! If you ask him: "How many are there in God?" He will say that God is the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: the one true God. If you ask him: "Who is the Father?" He will say: The Father is the Spirit of God in heaven; He rules over all, and He is the Lord of heaven." "Then is Jehovah the Spirit?" ☀️ He will say: "Yes!" If you ask him afterwards, "Who is the Son?" He will say that Jesus is the Son, anyway: "Then what is the story of Jesus? From whom did He come?" He will say: "Jesus was born of Mary through the shadowing of the Holy Spirit. " ☀️ "Then is not His substance also Spirit? Does His work also represent the Holy Spirit? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Now in the last days, it goes without saying that the Spirit still works; how did He become different persons? Doesn't the Spirit of God just carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives? Because of this, there is no difference between personas. 🙏 From "Is There a Trinity?" Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13). The kingdom He brought down and set up in the highest in the sky so that it can occupy His creation in the universe and engrave on it the entirety of His Holy name "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) "And I say as for you, you are Peter, on top of this rock I will build my Church, that even the power of death will not prevail over it.". ... and "The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia" (Rev. 3:7-13). ...

(Rev. 3:7-13). ... " For the time has come in the house of God for the beginning of judgment in the house of God." (1 Peter 4:17). ...

The bucket is just for protecting against punctures and, somewhat, from mice - but mice will eventually go through the bucket too if you don't take steps to eliminate them. 50 years ago, there was no such thing as an oxygen absorber.

Then we put the grain slowly into the container, hoping to not expel the CO2 as we did so.

Flour doesn't really need refrigerated, but it does have a pretty short shelf life (a week, maybe two at 70F in an airtight container). It's not much different than coffee or nuts. My thought is, it only has to last a year, for the next harvest to come in.
