Scott & Denise Girvan: Thank You for the information. Did You try it on Rice? Also could You give me any details on what You did? He talked about the glue that he used and some washers. Any help would be very nice. Again Thank You.
This guy is my hero. I've been fiddling with different designs on CAD but it never occurred to me just mod a cheap mill (NOT my Country Living mill !).
This is brilliant! We're planning on growing grain this year, and this video was perfect! So detailed, so well done!!! I think this is the method I'll use for dehulling. :) Thanks for sharing your genius with the rest of us! :)
Thinking about making this. Have been looking for many months for a ready to purchase unit. The only one I’ve found is Grain Maker Homestead Huller Kit for Model No. 99 for $275. You’d need the mill itself for $775. Replacement rubber pads are $47. Website doesn’t say what kinds of grains it works on to dehull.
I fashioned a whisk from a foot long piece of 4gauge bare copper grounding wire in my 1/2hp drill press and set the belts to 1780-2200 rpm, 2700 rpm was too much. Beat the hulls off in a bucket with cardboard lid. Then blow the chaff with a 4” 189 cfm exhaust fan. Cleaned up 1.25 gallons of einkorn grain from 100 sq ft. 1/4 of the harvest was hulled seeds and it took three passes, with last pass leaving a bit of flour on the grain.
great - but it would be so much easier if Lehman's or someone sold a de-huller that's ready to go AND works on oats, rice and barley AND for a reasonable cost. Anyone know of such? thanks!
Galen Lehman I think there might be a market since this is the missing link in the homestead grain production Maybe you could sell this as a accessery to Your grain mill And maybe a pully set to motorized it
Galen Lehman 3 years ago (edited) UPDATE: 1) In the video, we recommend gluing Grainger part number 1XWZ7, which is 1/6" rubber, to both burrs on the grinding surface. Further testing has shown that using 1XWZ7 on the handle side (stationary) burr and 1XWZ9, which is 1/8" thick rubber, on the moving burr is most effective.2) Food grade versions of the sheets listed above are available. However, we did not purchase or test those versions. If you test this setup with the food grade versions of the rubber pads, please post a comment and let us know how it worked. It looks like you should choose either 1MXC8 or 1TVK8 for the 1/16" sheet and either 1TVK5 or 1MXD3 for the 1/8" sheet. (I'm not sure what the difference is.)The grain mill is available from www.lehmans.com. Search for item number 1079030 or try this link: www.lehmans.com/product/economical-corn-mill

Thank you for the input. I have a friend that told me to put the wheat berries on a griddle and heat them up for the hull to come off. I am curious if you can place the seeds in hot water and boil them will the hulls get removed? I can dehydrate them after the fact to dry out the seeds if this is possible. Thanks
So y’all need to sell a pair of pads that fits over your grain mill burrs because the life of the mill would be linked to the life of the rubber pads when using this glue method
@@borealtribe253 I used an old corona hand mill, similar to the above. No modifications and cracked the buckwheat. This takes the hull off then the hulls can be winnowed off. I was surprised how easy it was to do.
takes it off wheat? are you for real? wheat has no hulls on it straight out of the harvester! it will fall right out of the stalk with no hull on it. I have been told that rice is the same, and they are the only 2 grains that you don't have to remove a hull from.
I remember Hullin' Oats in the '80s. Maneater, Private Eyes, I Can't Go For That.
I bought the mill and the rubber - and made the mod. It works....I mean... IT WORKS! Brilliant. Thank you.

Scott, I'm about to do this. What glue did you use?

Many thanks to this gentleman for being so generous with his information.
We use this equipment to peel soaked soyabeans. We do this by loosening the knots so it allows the beans go through without crushing it.

Very interesting and smart man, are we going to see more of his ideas and work?
Gene Logsdon described this in one of his books. I wish I could remember which one. It was good to actually see what it looks like though.
I fashioned a whisk from a foot long piece of 4gauge bare copper grounding wire in my 1/2hp drill press and set the belts to 1780-2200 rpm, 2700 rpm was too much. Beat the hulls off in a bucket with cardboard lid. Then blow the chaff with a 4” 189 cfm exhaust fan.

Does it work on sorghum and millet?
does this work for safflower and sunflower seeds??
Any other DIY recommendations for the same
would the gentleman know if this would remove the hulls from einkorn? thank you!
1:18 What brand or type is the grinder?
What glue did you use?
Great machine! Does it work also for buckweat? The hull is extraordinaly hard... could you advice which type should I pick?
Will this work on Emmer? Thank you!
Maybe spring pressure would be better?
Does it works for sunflower seeds ? Thanks.
That is a good idea. Does this work with buckwheat too?
JohnDoe0329 I don't see why not. You'd really need to use a wider setting as buckwheat kernels are really fragile.
Thank You Jesus for this
Would this work with dehulling sunflower seeds ? Thanks for the video.
Will it work on buckwheat?
What is the thickness of your gum rubber? I bought 3/8" and it looks a lot thicker than yours.
great - but it would be so much easier if Lehman's or someone sold a de-huller that's ready to go AND works on oats, rice and barley AND for a reasonable cost. Anyone know of such? thanks!

I had to import one from India
joe sears would you pls tell where from India? I need one to Hull Millets and try out family recipes but it’s lot of work to use pastel and mortar
The disclaimer says it does not work on oats.... wonder why ?
Where can I find gum rubber and for what is it used normally. I would really appreciate any input on that. Thank you
Will this work for ancient grains with more persistent hulls? I'm talking about grains like einkorn, emmer, spelt, etc.
I wonder if it would work on lentils or other beans.
Does it work on buckwheat?
Great video, thanks. why is the machine not recommended for oats? is it because the oat kernel is to soft?
Can he please make me one? ❤ Or is there something reliable on market to buy!
Thank You for the great video and information. Am I correct in assuming that it would work with rice as well? Again Thank You
Did you happen to discover this answer?
Doesn't seem to be instock at the moment.
I looked for this mill on your website and could not find it
Is there a method to get the hulls off buckwheat?
Thanks
Will this take the hulls off of barley grain? I noticed it said not for oats so I'm assuming this would not be for barley as well? Thanks
How come it doesn't work with oats?
very cool thanks for sharing
Does this work with buckwheat? I grew some this year for an experiment and not sure how to proceed. Thank you.
I am looking for a way to hull buckwheat as well..... did you ever figure it out?
I need one how can I buy ? Any help please? Am into agriculture
I might of missed it I apologize if you said but how thick is the rubber

I cannot find this particular order of gum rubber on that site. Could you please tell me what was the thickness of it? Many thanks.

Where can I buy this dehulling machine
Can I use it on barley?

No, don't do it that way. Won't work .
Does it work for spelt?
Which loctite glue did you use? There are several choices. And did you use the 1/16th gum rubber? What size washers
If you listen closely you hear him say superglue. Cyanoacrylate
@@delgriffith1 I used lock tight
It says, don't use with oats. I only need to de-hull my oats, so does anyone have any useful information? Thank you :o)
So y’all need to sell a pair of pads that fits over your grain mill burrs because the life of the mill would be linked to the life of the rubber pads when using this glue method

I’ve got buckwheat
Great information. Do you think that it would work with rice?
Did you happen to discover this answer?
Has anyone tried sorghum through this?
Could you use this for wild rice?
Did you happen to discover this answer?
How i get this machine
Hi, what kind of glue is best to use?
They said Loctite, which I think is a superglue you can find at a hardware store.
does it work in rice grain?
Did you happen to discover this answer?
Look s very good
What about hulling buckwheat? Will this method work? Thank you.
I just bought everything and will try it with buckwheat.
as how did it go ?
Well?
as, - Were you able to remove husks from Buckwheat with this or anything else ???
@@borealtribe253 I used an old corona hand mill, similar to the above. No modifications and cracked the buckwheat. This takes the hull off then the hulls can be winnowed off. I was surprised how easy it was to do.

+Link Knight Could it be no hulls because its a hull-less strain?
There are varieties that have a hull and when harvesting by hand one must remove the hulls. Some come off during the threshing process but not all.
Scott Girvan
would this work for de-hulling einkorn grain? i am very interested in trying to grow it, but wasn't sure how to de-hull it.
Does it work on shelling sunflower seeds ?
