I havent found anything here other than hops growing. Any body know any good sites for growing, harvesting, storing, toasting, roasting, grains?
Quick answer... Malting is allowing the seed to germinate and start to grow. Once to the corrrect size the growing plant is killed. That creates the enzymes that make the sugar available for fermentation. Timing the killing part is a PITA. Time consuming, messy, and not cost effective unless you plan to brew thousands of gallons or make a lot of bread. I have prolly way oversimplified it, but you get the general idea anyway. Sorry to be a buzz kill.
