I like to brew partial grain, which means that I always have a couple pounds of grain I need to crack. Grain mills are a little too steep for my modest budget, and so far my technique for cracking grain has involved an old cutting board, a bandana, and a big wooden club. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that my method is for the birds, and am looking for an alternative way to get my grain sufficiently crunched up, which brings me to my question. Has anyone used a coffee grinder before? Really I'm talking about one of those big industrial electric coffee grinders, because I've got easy access to one up at work and I'm sure nobody's going to object to me putting some barley through there. I'm just curious and I know that somewhere out there someone has had the same idea at one time or another. So, did it work?
