Green is the working loaf. Gold is the last mix that still has a gluten net. Red past the ceiling is a sticky puddle.

How it handles
Coarser than KA whole wheat — bran shards are sharper on the net. Autolyse 40 min. Unmalted, so bulk can run long without turning slack-sweet. 76% for a stand-up loaf; 84% if you are blending or panning. Do not chase an open crumb at 100% with this grind.
