As some of you may remember, I recently bought some grain with an abnormally high amount of extra plant material (stems mostly). I had such a hard time grinding this grain that I'd like to remove the unwanted material before my next batch. Anyone have any clever ideas on how to make this happen?
The stems are thinner than the grain, but much longer. I have various sieves, colanders, what have you. I'm thinking I could put some on a tray/cookie sheet and shake at an angle, so that the heavier grains slide down and some of the stems are left behind? Panning for grains?
I know it's going to be tedious anyway that i do it, but I'm hoping the masterminds here will come up with something clever
