I tried to search for wind malt but I came up with wiki entries and a few references but nothing more than a mention:
January's BYO magazine included a cool how-to on home malting. What I'm extra interested in is attempting a traditional biere de blanche with wind malt, which is described in the article. After sprouting the grain you dry it and kiln at really low temps. I don't know much about the history but I wonder if that's why it was called a "white beer" because of the super-light color contribution from wind malt. Are there any home maltsters on HBT? I would love to know if anyone has used wind malt or can point me to a good resource.
