I'm new to beer brewing.
Infact, I've only made ginger beer so far, very nice it is too. However, as I mentioned in my introduction, I live in a third world country that grows barley and uses it to make beer for domestic sales and sells the rest internationally. Non of it ends up in the shops in any raw form, be it pearl barley, malt drinks or flour let alone malt extract for brewing, and I won't consider buying malt online considering the prohibitive cost of shipping a pound of malt, it would be cheaper to buy a 10year old bottle of whiskey.
I want to make beer, but I want to use things that I can get hold of readily. I can buy 500kg of malt if I want, but that exceeds my needs and my wallet.
Can anyone throw a beer or ale recipe my way that makes use of non malt produce.
I heard the Japanese are making beer from soybeans. Kirin, I would love to have a go at that, but have no idea how to process the soybean.
Any suggestion are more than welcome before this thread drifts into obscurity.
