Has anyone used pearled barley in lieu of malted barley grains? I have a large amount of it available to me and am wondering if it's worth trying a batch with it ( I know....always worth trying )

It is barley without the hulls....i think it is processed as a cereal but without additives....similar to what htey do with oatmeal????

it's unmalted barley with the hulls removed and is not brewable. makes a great beef and barley soup though!

I didn't think it was malted.....oatmeal isn't either but I'ved used that successfully....wonder what the difference is???
Thanks

Sounds like it would be quite messy without the hulls, and like david said, you'd need enzymes from other grains to convert.
