Record the details you will need next time
Give the grain a useful name, such as its variety plus a supplier or bag reference that helps distinguish it from your other grain. Add the exact mill and the setting you used. In the notes, record whether you sifted, changed a recipe or noticed a collection loss. A setting such as “3” is most useful alongside the model and grain; it is not a transferable fineness measurement for another mill.
Measure usable flour consistently
Both weight fields use grams. Weigh the grain before milling and record the flour you intend to use after any sifting or collection losses. The notebook divides usable output by grain input and displays the percentage. An illustrative 1,000 g input and 920 g output gives 92% yield. Record removed bran or other losses in the notes rather than silently changing what “usable” means between batches. The yield guide explains the distinction.
Make a comparison you can interpret
When you want to refine a routine, keep the grain and weighing method consistent and change one recorded choice at a time where your mill’s instructions permit it. Compare the notes as well as the percentage: a lower yield may reflect a deliberate sifting choice. Yield alone does not tell you whether a flour performed better in a recipe. Your records can supply a measured yield for the flour cost calculator without turning one batch into a guarantee.
Keep a separate copy of records that matter
Entries stay in this browser profile on this device. Confirm that a saved batch appears in the list, then use Export JSON backup to download a separate copy when you need one. Export does not create an account, sync devices or restore records automatically; this notebook has no import control. Clearing site data or losing access to the browser can remove the working notebook. Deleting an entry here does not delete a previously downloaded copy. Keep sensitive personal details out of notes.
