Production planning estimate
Plan around lb of spelt berries
A starting estimate is 0.9 lb of flour per lb of spelt berries. Work back from how much you go through in a year to see how much that takes to make.
What you'll need
— lb of spelt berries
Planning note: Spelt berries need dehulling before they can go through the mill. The flour has a nuttier flavor and a more fragile gluten structure than wheat flour, so yeasted doughs benefit from a gentler knead and a shorter rise.
