I've been roasting coffee for a couple of years now, and it just dawned me that I could roast my own grains for brewing.
I'm definitely not going to try and malt the grains myself, so I'm thinking I could start with a base malt like 2-row and go from there.
I know I won't be able to achieve any crystal like malts as the grains used in that process are roasted green, but I think I could produce something along the lines of a brown or black patent type type malt...or even a carafa given its an air roaster and it would naturally dehusk.
Anyone have any experience doing this? Any recommendations on roast temp/length?
Btw, this is the roaster i'm using:
