A Guide to Finding Regional Flour A GUIDE TO FINDING REGIONAL FLOUR “When you buy freshly milled local flour, you’ll find that the taste is so distinct, so beautiful and nuanced, that it will be difficult to go back to the bagged stuff aging away on grocery store shelves. Finding locally grown and milled flours in your region is not as difficult as you think. Visit your local farmers’ markets to see if any sustainable grain farmers are selling freshly milled wheat flour. You can search for regional flour online as well. There’s nothing wrong with having bags of freshly milled flour shipped to you! The following is a list of grain farms and millers in different regions in the United States to help you get started. I hope you’ll enjoy baking the recipes I included in my book, Heritage Baking, when it’s available in the fall!” —Ellen King, author of Heritage Baking CALIFORNIA KENTUCKY MINNESOTA Beck’s Bakery Louismill Baker’s Field Flour and Bread Capay Mills Weisenberger Mill Natural Way Mills Community Grains Sunrise Heritage Flour Mill Farmer Mai LOUISIANNA Swany White Flour Mill Grass Valley Grains Whole Grain Milling Inglewood Farm Grains Grist and Toll MISSOURI MAINE IDAHO Neighbors Mill Bakery Aurora Mills and Farm Grain Revival and Café Bouchard Family Farms ILLINOIS Grange Corner Farm MONTANA Maine Grains Brian Severson Farms Montana Flour and Grain Songbird Farm Hazzard Free Farms Janie’s Organic Farm and Mill MASSACHUSETTS NEBRASKA Grain Place Foods INDIANA Gray’s Grist Mill Plimoth Grist Mill The Carthage Mill Four Star Farms NEW YORK The Birkett Mills IOWA MICHIGAN Champlain Valley Milling Early Morning Harvest Ferris Organic Farm Farmer Ground Flour Paul’s Grains Grand Traverse Culinary Oils Gianforte Farm and Flours Hawthorne Valley Farm KANSAS Windmill Flour North Country Farms Farmer Direct Westwind Milling Company Wild Hive Farm Heartland Mill Heritage Baking By Ellen King Photographs by John Lee CHRONICLEBOOKS.COM NORTH CAROLINA SOUTH CAROLINA WASHINGTON Carolina Ground Anson Mills Bluebird Grain Farm Geechie Boy Mill Culture Breads and Flouring Mill OHIO Fairhaven Organic Flour Bear’s Mill TEXAS Nash’s Organics Northwest Mills Shagbark Seed & Mill Barton Springs Mill Palouse Colony Farm Homestead Gristmill OKLAHOMA Shepherd’s Grain John’s Farm UTAH WISCONSIN Stone Stack Mills Dave’s Farm Anarchy Acres Central Milling OREGON Grafton Stone Mill Camas Country Mill VERMONT Great River Milling Lonesome Whistle Farm Lonesome Stone Milling Butterworks Farms Meuer Farms Gleason Grains Meadowlark Organics PENNSYLVANIA Nitty Gritty Grain Company Beilers Heritage Acres Rogers Farmstead Castle Valley Mill WYOMING Daisy Organic Flour VIRGINIA Mosher Products Small Valley Milling Woodson’s Mill Sonnewald Natural Foods Weatherbury Farm Heritage Baking By Ellen King Photographs by John Lee CHRONICLEBOOKS.COM.

    beverages Article A Multi-Parameter, Predictive Model of Starch Hydrolysis in Barley Beer Mashes Andrew Saarni 1, Konrad V. Miller 1,2 and David E. Block 1,2,* 1 Department of Chemical Engineering, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA; [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (K.V.M.) 2 Department of Viticulture and Enology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-530-752-0381 Received: 22 May 2020; Accepted: 1 October 2020; Published: 13 October 2020 Abstract: A key first step in the production of beer is the mashing process, which enables the solubilization and subsequent enzymatic conversion of starch to fermentable sugars. Mashing performance depends primarily on temperature, but also on a variety of other process parameters, including pH and mash thickness (known as the “liquor-to-grist” ratio). This process has been studied for well over 100 years, and yet essentially all predictive modeling efforts are alike in that only the impact of temperature is considered, while the impacts of all other process parameters are largely ignored. A set of statistical and mathematical methods collectively known as Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is commonly applied to develop predictive models of complex processes such as mashing, where performance depends on multiple parameters. For this study,RSM was used to design and test a set of experimental mash conditions to quantify the impact of four process parameters—temperature (isothermal), pH, aeration, and the liquor-to-grist ratio—on extract yield (total and fermentable) and extract composition in order to create a robust, yet simple, predictive model.

  • Brewing with Unmalted Cereal Adjuncts: Sensory and Analytical Impacts on Beer Quality
    beverages Article Brewing with Unmalted Cereal Adjuncts: Sensory and Analytical Impacts on Beer Quality Joanna Yorke, David Cook * and Rebecca Ford International Centre for Brewing Science, School of Biosciences, Sutton Bonington Campus, The University of Nottingham, Loughborough LE12 5RD, UK; [email protected] (J.Y.); [email protected] (R.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-115-951-6245 Abstract: Brewing with unmalted cereal adjuncts can reduce the requirement for malting, thereby lowering costs and improving the overall sustainability of the brewing chain. However, substantial adjunct usage has technological challenges and the sensory characteristics of beers produced using high adjunct rates are still not fully understood. This study examined the impacts of brewing with unmalted barley, wheat, rice and maize at relatively high concentrations (0, 30% and 60% of grist) on the sensorial and analytical profiles of lager beer. Adjunct based beers and a 100% malt control were brewed at 25 L scale. A trained sensory panel (n = 8) developed a lexicon and determined the sensorial profile of beers. At 30% adjunct incorporation there was insignificant variation in the expected beer flavour profile. At 60% adjunct incorporation, there were some significant sensory differences between beers which were specific to particular adjunct materials. Furthermore, 60% adjunct inclusion (with correspondingly low wort FAN) impacted the fermentation volatile profile of the final beers which corresponded with findings observed in the sensory analysis. Developing an understanding of adjunct-induced flavour differences and determining strategies to minimise these differences will facilitate the implementation of cost-efficient and sustainable grist solutions.

  • ELP and ESP Station Handout Grist Mill
    ELP and ESP Station Handout Grist Mill INTRODUCTION The goal of this handout is to prepare you to lead the Grist Mill station during your Environmental Living Program or Environmental Studies Program. At the Grist Mill station, your students will experience firsthand what it was like to grind wheat into flour using a hand- powered grist mill. This station will allow you and your students to explore the history, science, language, and math related to agriculture. HISTORY The Fort’s primary crop was wheat and there were a number of fields near the Fort, so the grist mill had an important place at Sutter’s Fort. The mill was likely in operation both day and night, and prior to the establishment of the Fort, the nearest grist mill was about 65 miles away in Sonoma. It was not until 1846, when a grist mill was opened, near present day Sloughhouse, that there was another local source for flour. The mill and agriculture were central to John Sutter’s business plan for the Fort. He hoped create a thriving agricultural business. However, to be successful in agriculture, Sutter needed countless laborers. The large majority of those laborers were local California Indians. Early visitors to the Fort, such as the French diplomat and dignitary Comte de Mofras, wrote glowingly about the limitless potential for agriculture at New Helvetia. The rich soil and the flat grasslands were an agricultural paradise to the trained eye. However, potential does not always translate into production; Sutter and the large California Indian workforce had many obstacles to overcome.

  • What Is a Grist Mill 2020
    WHAT IS A GRIST MILL? A Gristmill is a facility where grain is ground into animal feed or flour. Gristmills were vital to the development of the Midwest. Without them the early settlers would not have been able to feed themselves or their livestock. Since every settler had to journey to the mill, they were a hub of many activities where families exchanged news and socialized. At one time Iowa had 500 gristmills. Grist is grain that has been ground or is in the process of being ground. It may or not be bolted (sifted) into flour or ground further. Grist is any material that is being processed by a mill. To make bread flour grain (most commonly wheat) is first cleaned to remove chaff, dirt, other seeds and debris. It is then ground to remove the Pine Mills “run” of 36” outer covering of indigestible bran and to reduce the French Millstones. white inner part of the grain to flour. The result is whole grain flour. A machine called a bolter, using different size screens, sifts out the white flour from the bran. Pine Creek Grist Mill served a wide range of needs for the local community. The mill could: Shell and clean corn for seed Grind corn into feed for livestock Grind and bolt corn into cornmeal for human consumption The corn milling plant. The bagging chutes are on the right. Clean wheat for seed Produce wheat flour for bread A farmer could trade grain for milling Clean buckwheat and rye for seed services by paying a toll.

  • Gluten-Free Products Shopping List
    GLUTEN-FREE PRODUCTS SHOPPING LIST The items on this shopping list, to the best of our knowledge, are made without gluten or any ingredients derived from gluten-containing grains, such as wheat, barley, rye, spelt or kamut. It is possible that products labeled gluten-free may come into contact with gluten during manufacturing. However, with the current FDA guidelines, any product labeled gluten-free should have less than 20 parts per million (ppm), which is considered a safe amount for most individuals following a gluten-free diet. People who have celiac disease and individuals who are exquisitely sensitive may still have a reaction to foods with measurable, although tiny, amounts of gluten. In this case, it is helpful to find companies that produce products in a dedicated gluten-free facility or that are part of a certification program. Products with this symbol are certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, and tested for less than 10 ppm. For more information visit their webpage at www.gfco.org. This list also indicates whether the gluten-free foods listed contain dairy, soy or egg in the ingredients. If soy lecithin is the source of soy in the product, (SL) will appear after the product description.
