robbo Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Lightly dampen it with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Let it sit (patience!) so the small amount of water in the alcohol can permeate and soften the grains. Then sieve/crush it and dry it quickly in the sun/a warm place.The alcohol serves as a thinner/vehicle to disperse a minimal amount of water throughout the grains... an alcohol mix with less water may work better, but I've used 70% IPA in a pinch when I've run short of meal D.

dlking59 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Thanks guys. I think I'm gonna try the ball mill to get some meal and also try the 70% alcohol to get some finer grain BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Ball milling makes fine powder, crushing big powder makes medium powder and fine powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
