Hey Guys,
My questions is: If you're using mylar bags to store grain in, why do you need food-grade storage containers? The grain won't touch the container, itself. Just curious. I'll be getting oats free from my farmer friend. Do I need to dry them more than just cut from the field? I'm going to get 4 bushels of it. I'm gonna look around to see if any farmers in the area have grown the red wheat. See if I can buy direct. [Also, I'll get some field corn and dry it in my dehydrator. I'll try to get 4 bushels of that, as well. That's a lot of drying, but I saw a process of drying in the oven, also. Any thoughts on that?
Another question: Has anyone made a bread oven outside? It's just too hot to bake bread inside right now. I would try a cob oven, but with heavy rain, unless it's covered by a roof, it would disintegrate. It's a lot of work, to see it melt like the witch on the Wizard of Oz. Any ideas? Maybe a concreate one?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
