BigRed Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 What options are available to minimize dust when using 50lb sacks ground to flour? Is there anything for manual pour into the mash tun, or is an auger system needed? I would eventually like to auger with larger sacks or mill ourselves, so something we can grow with would be great.

Hope Springs Distillery Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I would be interested in advice on this point, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskiebaedistillery Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Look into grist hydrators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyspirits Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 There are two dust challenges you'll face: milling & handling. By far the best approach to dust control when milling is to build a dedicated room with special air filters. You'll weigh, mill, and load the auger hopper all in the same room. In some jurisdictions this may be a requirement. If it's not, it probably should be. As for handling, iskiebaedistillery is spot on -- look at grist hydrator. Good for preventing doughballs as well.
