This article contains good pictures of both the four oak varieties and how to process them.
No, you do not need to grind them between two stones, even though that is shown in the article. You can also run over them with your car/truck or use a hammer, etc. You do need to make acorn flour.
The key is the soaking process to remove the bitter tannins in the seed itself, after grinding to a coarse flour.
Drying after soaking is part of the process. Plan on it and have a way to spread the coarse flour for either sun or oven drying.

We have at least one of these varieties in our area, so look around your location.
