General tips for milling fresh flour (Komo Fidibus Classic)?

When it comes to milling fresh flour using the Komo Fidibus Classic, there are several practical tips to enhance your experience and maximize efficiency.

First and foremost, investing in a good sifting solution can significantly improve the quality of your flour. Initially, many users try hand sifters, but they can be cumbersome and tiring. A powered sifting attachment can be helpful, though some may find it inconvenient due to the need for disassembly. Alternatively, a simple fine stainless steel sieve can be a great solution. For instance, a 10.25-inch fine mesh sifter from Scandicrafts provides an extraction rate of about 88%, making it an affordable option for those just starting their milling journey.

Another recommended sifter is a 60 mesh screen. However, users should be aware that this option may require more effort to operate and yield around 75% extraction. Many milling enthusiasts suggest utilizing an initial pass through a coarser screen followed by the finer one to mirror industrial bolting processes.

When it comes to setting the milling mechanism, a good rule of thumb is to adjust the stones to 4-6 clicks off contact. While some users prefer to back off even more, this may not have a dramatic impact on extraction rates.

Don’t forget to use the bran produced during milling in your oatmeal or other recipes, as it adds nutritional value and reduces waste.
