sounds interesting .

Northside, unfortunetly a coffee grinder wont mill your grain but it will grind it up (into powder). Definitely can be used with BIAB, as i did, but could cause problems in a non-bag set-up.
I was able to mill about a standard 5-6kg batch with it, all in small batches.

I bought a very cheap ($20) spice grinder from a cheap shop which started smoking while grinding grain. I then purchased a blender for about $80 which I have been using ever since which works a treat. It grinds enough grain for a brew in probably 20mins? I am very happy with it so far-been using it for over a year. I am not sure what an Aldi coffee grinder looks like but these type of grinder are very small so won't grind much grain very quickly and are usually overworked doing a full batch of grain for a brew. The blender I bought is a Breville which I am happy with.
Cheers
