[QUOTE="TSgt Twitch, post: 2008816, member: 24664"] We use 4:1 hard red to hard white in our home grinding or occasionally 3:1:1 red/white/ corn or bean or random grain flour, here at home. We have a standard victoro grinder but I want a country mill big wheel with power kit attachment. Also for cheaper long term storage lots of feed stores will sell you "human consumption" wheat/oats/rolled corn etc. for not much more than the animal price. and we have even ground up the animal stuff and used it to no ill effect EXCEPT CORN ( they allow a larger margin of husks and such in the corn and there is a higher (bad something) content in it. They can be put into plastic food grade 55Gal drums and deoxygenated with dry ice, or if we get fancy we food savor it/freeze it in smaller bags and then fill up the barrel. I recommend plastic over metal if not individually sealing because of condensation in the metal barrels can get bad with our extreme temp swings in central Ok. We use n and r feed in Harrah or any of the shawnee mills. and get our bulk barrels via craigslist or from the feed stores themselves. ( for human consumption wheat we paid $9 per 50lbs wheat 8 per corn and 8-10 for oats this year/ slightly less last year and who knows how the weathers gonna be next year) one 55gal drum will hold approx 325ish lbs. i think for a family of four the mormon church recommends 400lbs of grain per yr, but that is very very very very low end and not nearly enough if you want more than flat breads etc. Also sams club has th ebest price on yeast 2 5lb bags for 6 bucks for fleischmans and it can be frozen.
