Is it too late to contact the merchant to hold the order? I use a Corona-type mill, which is not ideal, as it shreds rather than crushes, but I make good beer. You could try a blender a little at a time, taking care not to overdo it. It will be pretty laborious, tho, with a complete AG bill.

Folks, don't forget that you can pick up the phone and talk to someone in person! :) Or you should be able to with a respectable supplier.

While some folks on here have said that they have used a blender/food processor before, it isn't something you want to plan on using every time.

It WILL probably work OK for this one batch if you have to do it - JUST DON'T GRIND IT TO DUST!

porter,

Use a rolling pin on a hard surface. You just need to split the hulls and only somewhat crush the grain. Be careful using a grinder or food processer if you are going to mash the grain as the intact but split hulls act as a filter when sparging.
