Hey all,
I'm thinking through an experiment, and wonder if any others have tried it. I've now successfully malted my own grain several times, but the drying of it is a pain in the neck. Lo and behold, I found out that green malt has higher diastatic power than dried malt. So, here's my question:
Can one use a small amount of green malt with a mash otherwise dominated by other sources of starch and specialty grains? If you've tried this, what kind of beer did it produce?
