Gristmill(Redirected from Grist mill)
A gristmill is a place where grains are ground into flour. Usually powered by a convenient source (historically water power from dams or wind power were common sources, present day electric, or fossil fuel sources of power are more common) the basic mechanism is to have a 'run' of stones crushing the grain against a stationary stone, and the chaff and grain are thus broken apart and separated.
