Often I'll hear people refer to "modern" malts or "today's" malts. Used like thus: "You don't have to worry about that with today's malts!" Mostly in reference to having enough enzymatic power to convert the sugars of adjunct grains or other non-enzymatic malts.
What exactly does that term "modern" mean or refer to? When did the "modern" era of malt start and how did it start?
Before the "modern" era of malt, what would one have experienced when brewing with a malt of the "previous" era? Lower OG, less conversion, etc...?
I have no problems with my home malted grains perhaps this refers to industrial scale malting?
