chopped whole wheat

Bernard Clayton Jr.'s Chopped Whole Wheat bread calls for processing soaked and sprouted wheat berries through a food grinder.  I didn't have latter device and tried food processor blade which did NOTHING.  I finally resorted to using my 10-inch chef's knife.  Very laborious and unsatisfying.  I decided against the VitaMix or the Komo flour mill on coarse.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Maybe you could use some of the recipe's water when lightly blending/grinding the berries  in the Vitamix, or chopping them in the food processor.   

If needed, then strain the water out of the chopped/blended berries.

It might work if your Vitamix has the variable speed control, so it can go slowly.
