After rolling a beer bottle to crack the grain last time, we found a grain grinder for sale on-line and bought it. It is designed to attach to a countertop edge.

Needed to construct a shelf from old 2x4s and a 2×6 to hold the new grain grinder. Steve did carpenter work while John sterilized our equipment.

Good to apply a little ancient technology to the work of grinding grain. Note, that we are not making flour! Just need to crack the grain before pouring it into the muslin bag to seep in the 155 degree water.
