Wolfgang Fidibus 21 Grain Mill (the not so little brother of the KoMo Classic) The Wolfgang grain mill is a world class mill designed by master craftsman, Wolfgang Mock. The Wolfgang mills are precision engineered and imported from Germany, assuring the highest quality materials and craftsmenship. Compact but powerful: At just over a foot tall, the Fidibus 21 performs well against larger mills. Its attractive beechwood veneer cabinet conceals a pair of advanced corundum/ceramic burrs and a strong, high efficiency motor. Its solid beechwood hopper holds 1 lb., 14 oz. of grain — enough for over two pounds of whole grain bread. The 21 produces 3.5 ounces of flour per minute at the finest setting, and can run continuously so you can refill and keep grinding for any quantity of flour you need. Its compact footprint makes the Fidibus 21 ideal for every small kitchen, and a valuable tool for anyone exploring the joys of cooking with natural foods. A cornerstone of the KoMo mill line, the 21 will grind wheat (both hard and soft), oat groats (dehulled oats), rice, triticale, kamut, spelt, buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth, sorghum and dent (field) corn. It will also grind spices, lentils and dry beans (pinto, red, garbanzo, kidney, etc.) It isn't suitable for herbs, oilseeds like flax or sesame, popcorn, or fibrous materials. Clean lines and simplicity: The grind of the Fidibus 21 is continuously adjustable from fine flour to coarse meal and cracked grain, simply by turning the hopper bowl to align its index mark with the graphic scale on the front of the mill. Cleanup is minimal and easy, and access to the milling chamber takes only a moment, and requires no tools.

Freshly milled flour from the Wolfgang exits the shoot at a temperature only sightly warm to the touch. Whole grains begin to oxidize and spoil as soon as they're milled, causing a loss in nutritional value and flavor. At a minimum, it's important to check the shelf date on store bought whole grains and refrigerate or freeze what you keep on hand. Ideally, purchase whole grains in bulk and mill at home as needed. Whole grains keep indefinitely and hold their nutritional value. Milling your own grains with a Wolfgang grain mill takes less than a minute and cleanup about the same. |
