Best grinder for grain?

Hi All,


I've heard the Corona grinder is the best but it seems to be hard to find. I'm new to storing grains and grinding for food production. Any recommendations on brands I could get a grinder for corn, wheat, etc.?


Thanks.

Ebay and Amazon both have corona mills pretty cheap. I would wonder if there's a way to adapt it to fit an electric drill, just in case. I have a Barley Crusher with hand-crank and it fits up nice for a drill. I'm told it can't crack corn, but someday I'll probably give it a try. Crankandstein is supposed to be able to do both.

Country Living is probably the best but very expensive, over $400.00. I have two, (two is one and one is none). The VKP 1012, costs around $65.00, small hopper but does work and the wonder mill junior that is much better but costs a lot more. They are over $200.00 now but I paid a lot less several years ago. A lot is going to depend on expectations but I can assure you that you will not get the type of flour you are used to from a single pass thru the grinder and be prepared for a workout

I just LOVE my Wonder Mill! It grinds everything. I have the electric one (for good times) and the manual Wonder Mill Junior (for bad times).

    Grains

    Question 
    Where in Colorado can I find clean red winter wheat and/or clean field corn in bulk (up to 400 pounds of each) for human consumption? Been using feed store grains, but seeking cleaner supply.

    storing Foods in 5 gal buckets

    Discussion 
    Need help starting to store foods, I have 5 gallon buckets with oxygen absorbers, can I just throw uncooked foods like rice in these buckets and put the oxygen absorbers in there then seal the buckets? Or do I need to do another step?

    Opinions and ideas on barrels.

    Discussion 
    Which of those barrels would you use, as well as what would you use them for? All are food grade. The once with two white top lids do not seem to be very air tight, but have a metal clasp. The once without top lids have a plastic clasp. The oval brown/reddish once are air tight (used to contain olives and jalapenos in oil and vinegar) however, they are oval and bottom is harder to reach.
