I have a bit of a read here and I think I am almost ready to dip my toes in the water of an AG mash.
I have almost 25Kg of whole wheat (about 95% hull free, but definitly unpolished) that i bought for my chickens and they dont eat

From what I have read wheat can have about the same conversion power of two row.
I've bought some foodgrade HPDE buckets that i can drill micro-holes in the bottom of so i can sprout the wheat, what i'm not so sure about is how to go about dring it effectively - (1) can i just bung it on screen/sheet in the sun?
I assume oven drying would be a bad ideas as i would probably denature the enzymes that i'm after.
(2) Am I right in assuming that i will need to crush/grind the malted, dried wheat before using it to convert any other grain?
Thanks for you patience, if there is a thread that i missed, and is known to you please just link me to that - i know the reasearch rule

AG is a little scary, but from what people describe it is Ag if you get it right! (geddit?)
