Best Blender for Powdering MHRB

Migrated topic.

Hi all, SWIM has finally gotten his hands on some Shredded MHRB yet he has no blender. What kind should he buy, he's under the impression any blender with a crush ice function would be able to handle MHRB. Anything special he should look out for when buying a strong blender? He also plans on using it to blend San Pedro at some point.

Thanks.

But that's a soft veggies demo, no hard bark or vine demo.

This looks like a lean mean *all metal* kill machine :shock:
But serious pre-shredding necessary?

thats debatable but the thing has somewhere near a dozen settings on it so you could take entire logs and put it in there and it will reduce them to nothing.

i just find that the cheapo machines have no shelf life for even occasional work, and for something like this the gears can jam and the plastic can shred, its a question of material density, a piece of metal is harder than a piece of wood, but a piece of wood is harder than a piece of plastic.

stainless steel metal on metal will last decades, can be cleaned very easily and will do things you cant imagine.

it does not have to be kitchenaid there are so many good producers, many of them german or specialist italian companies, but if the mixers they make are a testament to anything you will be able to give that grinder to your children in your will if you wanted to.

pay the extra money if you can, if you do you will never have to buy another one in your life time.

I got a cheap Krups grinder, and it ground through about 250g of bark before meeting its demise. You may want to opt for one of the more expensive reliable blenders/coffee grinders mentioned rather than going through several cheap ones. Also be sure to wear a dust mask when emptying the freshly powdered bark :thumb_up:

It seems like everyone puts the mhrb dry in the blender. But shouldn't you put it in the blender together with water?
Anyone experience with that?

Loads of experience with that. I always blended it dry using a standard blended because it wasn't powerful enough to do it with water. I then upgraded to a vitamix and used water and it was superbly powdered within 20 seconds (the only downside is that i usually ended up with slightly more water than i needed so i compensated by filtering the water from one blend and re-using it). Worked liked a charm, saved about hours of my usual extraction time.
