I think the term is that gluten should be "present, elastic and of a satisfactory colour". But I've never heard anyone actually define what they mean. I once learnt how Chopin alveograph and zeleny tests worked but have never seen them used in the UK.

Not that I was aware of, had Don & Zon, bushel, hagberg and protein done. The load in question was below spec in hagberg 180 but they were also on about gluten being low. It was a Friday and by all accounts the mill can be interesting.

Is there any mention of gluten in your contract with the merchant?

All has to be fit for purpose, gluten can be destroyed by over cooking in a drier for example, so although protein bushel and bag might be there it won’t bake as gluten gone.

Gluten free flour is worth at least double.

Not enough. Storing it. These sort of price levels and fussing over intake samples really are the final kick in the knadgers after a year that’s been a constant battle with the elements.

Of course, they will have very tight contracts with the likes of Tesco, and need to absolutely guarantee that they can supply. What would you do, sat watching UK wheat fast losing quality sat in the field, and knowing that many samples nearly a month ago now were showing low protein, if you were them?

No, it's fair enough. It's not like there is enough UK supply. But they would be the first crying to mummy the minute we got close to similar market power. Expect they don't want the tarrif after December!

Dont blame you.
I have long thought growing milling was a waste of time and effort, if there is a good premium it is usually because nobody has got any.
