I'm new to the home brew thing.....I am really interested in the basic science of distilling grains into alcohol and would like to brew from 100% scratch.....from growing the grains (not the hops, however) and turning them into different malts.....then of course brewing it........I had a few questions about what the different kinds of malts did...how to make them and what different affects they had on the finished product....also......what kind of materials could I scrounge from the stores without ordering an actual kit from a home brew store
