if the corn malt is used "green," but the other grains are not green, does taste suffer for Bourbon and does it save a lot of mashing time?

I don't care about enzymes - just thinking it'd be softer & easier to mash than cracked corn.

How much does the flavor profile change, assuming I keep them in the dark to avoid chlorophyll from developing. And do the roots need to be removed?

I malt corn in my garden. I rototill an area approx 6'x6'. I pull the dirt back about 3-4" deep and line the hole with an old blanket. Then I spread 50 lbs of feed corn and cover with another blanket. I wet all of this down and then cover with the dirt I originally pulled out of the hole. After 5 or 6 days I check daily until the malt is to my liking. It works like a charm and has never failed me yet.
