Another topic on which I'm late to the discussion, but to answer your question, yes, I have done this. I have been using a high protein Burris feed, but have nonetheless ground it up for use in home aquariums with very small BG. My wife won't let me use the coffee grinder grin so I just do it by hand in a heavy freezer bag with a hammer or mallet. Not as consistent as a grinder would do, I'm sure, but it does the trick and the fish eat it like crazy.
