To those wondering: yes, there is bits of rock in the flour. The next step (that this video doesn’t show) is the “shaking” process of removing the stone dust from the flour.
@@AdinathStonesPvtLtd That's cool, but I think I'd like one from a quart I'm personally attached to, if not an extraordinary vein of stone I had some emotional investmebtbin, like some travertine from the original quarries of Rome, or stone from Etna, or perhaps something a little more local to my experience and less from my life's journey, like at Helens or hood, or Baker, Jefferson, or a cool composite of all my local range dominators. I'll tell you what, I'll let people place orders on a DeviantArt page and if enough interest is generated, I can quit my all night, every night job as a truck driver. ;P Looks like you may have some experience in caring about rocks got any pointers, or berhaps would care to have a more long term kind of sharing of experience kind of deal my.
Beware what you're advocating. Millers leaving in excessive filler, like sand or sawdust in the flour is a major reason why governments arose in the first place. A little may add an interesting character but a lot becomes a crime against the poor.
@@roguishpaladin But what you are referring to is intentional adulteration, right? The original comment meant unintentional sand coming from the stones in the grinding process, at least that's how I read it.
You would be amazed how out of context comments can be taken on the internet. Entire lives and families have been torn apart by such a thing. Although those who weren't stupid enough to use their real name online where fine.
Thank you so much for the video. I just bought an old set of millstones, at an auction, but there is nothing connecting them, although one of the holes has an old broken off and rusty piece of metal embedded in it. So and I can't quite figure out how the two stones are connected, nor how the handle or turning mechanism operated - yours has a hole in the top one for the handle, but these do not. Would you be willing to share any guidance on this (and possibly even a photo of the connecting method!!)? I'd be very much obliged. Thanks. Edwin
In a Bakers shop there are 128 bags of Flour. Some bags weigh 2 pound andbothers weigh 7 pound. If all the bags weigh 336 pounds in total. How many bags weigh 2 pound ? How many weigh 7 pound ? Can you solve in less than 10 minutes ?
How did people get the stone in that shape, what kind of stone, and how to stop grit from getting into flour? Other than that out of all the videos I watched this was the only one that taught me how grinding works. Thanks, love it
Acquiring a nice millstone from a stone mason was a lot like buying modern-day capital. A huge, one-time expense that would be the primary driver of your business. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FmdacWLldAw.html This is a video of a modern man creating a millstone from scratch. He's using sandstone, but better millstones would be made of a more durable material such as granite. He's also using inferior tools. A true mason would have specialized iron instruments, such as a hand-drill. There was no way to remove grit from the flour, which is why ancient peoples had very worn-down teeth. However, depending on the millstone's hardness, the grit was microscopic and not abundant. Also, a skilled/talented miller would ideally keep a very thin layer of flour between the stones so that they wouldn't actually touch.
@@SylvEdu a different way of doing it with the bigger mill stones is controlling the distance between the stones, the top one hanging close but not really touching , just close enough to crush the grains
.... amazing video as all others!!!! :) and as Czech, I was dying laughing when hearing the comments about the bees cca 0:45 (behind the camera) !!! :D :D --> amazing!
do the two pieces of stone actually touch each other? If they do, wouldn't there be a lot of sand blended into the flour? And how does the grain get fed between the stones?
@@flat-earther Yes I see the gain is poured in to the hole in the middle of the top stone. My question is how does the grain get BETWEEN the stones to be crushed. If the stone faces are smooth, there is no space for that first grain to get in there and the grain should just stay in the hole.
@@sfbluestar Ah yes now I understand you. So if that's what would prevent the grains going between, I guess from the hole there is also a chamfer cut into the underside of the stone, forcing the grains to get wedged between. Or grooves, so actually the stone faces are not smooth. I wish I knew more about these.
What's the possibility of getting little rocks in the bread your making. I'm not talking in the sense of chunks but little ground up bits that sift their way into the side deposits of ground wheat berries.
This is is better. It is more like the beginning of time and still now. I would like instructions on building one of this type of mill and what best grain to used with it. Along type of stone and so on.
Hi I was hoping to use a clip from this video for my small artisan bread company website to explain how a stone mill works? How do I credit you and are ok with me using your video?
эх и покрутил же я в детстве эти жернова ,мяттори ,в основном муки делали из чаипсари (клейкого риса) или толкли еще на ножной ступе "бай"" брус длинный на одном конце перекладина для ног на другом закреплен пест а в землю врыта ступа,сам брус на оси,нажимаешь ногой на перекладину пест на конце бруса поднимается отпускаешь пест бьет по ступе,а для рук чтоб сохранять равновесие П -образная стойка !🎉
I have a bag of beans to feed chickens but they are too big for a chicken to swallow. My grandma has a stone mill, seems like I'll be first one that uses that mill in 21st century.
I just saw this in Assassin's Creed Valhalla where i play as a Dane Viking in England and it got me interested,was it really like that as they presented in the game,and yes,it is or rather it was.
@@ZacandCompany interesting, I wonder over time though, would that build up in ya body, or would it be flushed out. I know microplastics stay in ya body for some time. obviously one dose wouldn't hurt ya, but grinding grain for daily meals would build up. Maybe a science question, for another day?
hoon12345 normally the rock is specifically chosen to be very hard, minimizing the amount of rock dust that ends up in the bread. Many modern home grain mills still use stone burrs and don't have issues with stone dust/particles
Stone is a lot harder than grains. There is no way any substantial amount getting into the flour. That is the genius of ancient people. My father's generation grew up on that in our village in India.
@@galdruslock6371 This stone grain mill is better quality and smooth in the attached video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Z4LVJY5g6I.html
@bullshitdave good to know your interested in stone. Please be careful of the sandstone, high silaca just wear a dustmask. I appreciate the compliment. Let me know if theres anything i can help you with, chisels, methods etc
This flour gave the ancient Egytptians terrible teeth. Little bits of stone come off the wheel during the grinding process. Also desert sand blowing in didnt help.
Remember, in the bible in the book of Judges in ch 9 Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth(Gideon) was killed by a woman who dropped a piece of one on his head, so it definitely is labor intensive! Of course anyone can drop a piece of a millstone from a wall of a tower, but it's still pretty cool!
