I'm on a quest to brew a drinkable beer for my GF wife. Last week I refreshed my skills and did a (regular) partial extract Pale Ale. While its waiting for it to ferment I've been reading pretty much every thread in this forum. I'm impressed with your collective efforts and anxious to get started!
Yesterday my wife managed to dig out three candidate GF grains for me to play with, and I started a malting experiment. 8 oz each of Sorghum, White Quinoa, and Millet. I rinsed each heavily, and then let soak.
I drained the Quinoa after two hours of soaking. I let the Sorghum and Millet soak overnight before draining them. I have been rinsing all of them every ~8 hours.
So... after 24 hours the Quinoa has started to sprout. The other two are lagging for now.
