By request, here is the 6 (well, 7) grain cereal recipe I created:

I use whole, un-ground grain berries for this - I have a little hand grinder attached to my kitchen counter and I grind it right when I'm ready to use it!  Of course you can pre-grind whole batches or combine pre-ground grains, but I feel like I lose vitamins and nutrients that way.

2 C. Oats
2 C. Wheat
1 C. Buckwheat
1 C. Barley
1 C. Rye
1/2 C. Flaxseed
1/2 C. Millet

For grinding as you make it:
2 servings =
1/3 C. berries
1 1/2 C. water
dash salt (opt.)
Grind grains just finely enough to crack millet & flaxseed. Bring salt & water to a boil, stir in cereal with a whisk to prevent lumps.  Cook 2 minutes continuing to stir, serve with raisins or craisins for extra sweetness!

For pre-ground cereal:
1 serving =
1/4 C. ground cereal
3/4 C. water
dash salt (opt.)
Cook as instructed above.
