I was talking to my Dad the other day over a homebrew and he mentioned that back before the days of the local homebrew store it was hard to come by malt other than base malt. He said he knew of people who would roast their own malt by throwing some 2 row in a pillow case and putting it in the dryer. From there one could select the "delicate" or "permanent press" or whatever cycle and get different specialty malts as a result. I thought he was full of trash.
Has anyone heard of this technique? Anyone tried it? I know roasting malt in the oven is common, but the dryer?
