Has anyone ever used the grain mill attachment for a Kitchenaid? My wife has damn fine Kitchenaid and I'm thinking it would a fairly practical mill.

....kitchenaid mixers don't burn out. i have my mother's mixer that was made in the early 1960's and other than new brushes every few years, it's still going strong. it hasn't had an easy life, it's kneaded tons of bread and ground up tons of wheat (my mother was an early health food nut)
but, i don't think the grain mill attachment will work very well for beer, as it is designed to turn grain into powder and doesn't have much adjustability....
A KA from the 60s probably won't burn out. They were made by Hobart and built to commercial specifications. Newer KitchenAid mixers certainly can and do burn out, and their customer service sucks. The link is to my own miserable experience with a fried Professional 600. The earlier versions have a plastic transmission housing that can't take the strain of regular bread making. It's a known design flaw that KA refuses to make good.
