It'll convert if you mash it. If you don't mash it, it won't!

Kept in a dry or moist environment? Like a gremlin, get it wet and see what happens!

It's too bad no one made some scotch from that Maris Otter 18 years ago!

If it doesn't smell funny, doesn't feel funny, taste funny, or doesn't look funny -- You have a winner. But I'll say 76% just because someone has to offset the bet from Agent.

Pre-chewed some of the grain. Tasted toasty, malty, and grainy. Passes the taste test!
Yes, I do plan on mashing it. Just did, in fact....
Full conversion!

Should we expect low efficiency from 18 month old malts? If so should we increase amounts to make up for it? I always figured if it tastes, smells OK, and did not get wet and moldy just use it as normal.

79% efficiency. Wort tastes great. Looks like we have a winner!
Will it convert?
Yes! (this time at least)
I have about 20lbs left in the sack....

Im making chili. i was like hey this could be a good beer.
if you keep malt dry and rid of bugs it just gets stale with age.
it will still make beer, just not as fresh and as good as newly malted malts do.
I've made beer with almost three year old malts before. It was beer... just not the freshest tasting brew you would want after spending all that time brewing and making it into beer.
name it Farticus
For the beans beer, go ahead and do it .
It will make "beer" but it tastes like arse. Our work tried to develope a gluten free beer using peas as the base, and if you could get past the rotting garbage smell and the off grey colour, it tasted like really bad beer.
