Is roasted barley made from malted barley or plain barley? Is it possible to roast my own in the oven or am I more likely to scorch/burn it?

if i remember correctly, roasted barley is malted, then kilned to a toasty black. you can roast your own, but you have to get the oven temps just right and for the right time.

I wouldn't roast your own. For the lighter toasts it is fine but as David says there is a fine line between espresso beans and charcoal, Black Roasted and Charcoal as well.

Thanks for your replies. Think I'll take a trip to the LHBS for some.
