and do my own matling and all.I've found a local(day's drive away) source of inexpensive barley. Straight from the farmer, in fact. So I took home a 40kg bag, and have begun playing around. I've so far been able to get it to germinate perfectly. I then was able to break it all up and remove most of the rootlets with a food processor. In fact, I now have 2-1/2 pounds of fresh green malt! These were done in small containers, but it showed me the how of it. Malting 10-15 lbs will be no harder to do.
Question is, now what? I'd like to start by doing green malt washes, then try some dried ones, and compare. But I'm unsure of where to go once I have the malt. Brewers' sites and forums aren't much help, because they're taking steps we don't have to. And the mother site gives many conflicting sequences, and everyone assumes we're buying the malt. Unless I missed a page?
At any rate, any and all help on where and how to go forward would be 'preciated, and in turn, I'll keep everyone up to date in my trials and conquests
