Has anyone had problems with voles, rats or mice? I have a pretty big garden next to my house and have all types of vegetables, lettuce, herbs and whatever. I know I have rodents digging holes and such, but they don't usually touch my veggies. I decided to plant a 32sqft bed with barley for the...

I'm new around these parts. Not new to brewing, but hanging around here for sure...:mug:

FYI, for anyone following this thread. I submitted a request to the admins to get our own forum called Growing and Malting Barley (or grain or whatever). He said it was a good idea and was going to bring it up with the other admins. Sounds promising so look for a forum dedicated to this thread!

Same here! It will probably be some time next spring!

Thanks for starting this thread. I'm just getting into the malting thing but have been homebrewing for many years. Finally have the time to try some of this stuff. My goal is to have an estate grown beer which means everything comes from my property. I'm located in western Washington and hops...

I'm a little late to the party here. As many, I stumbled on this thread looking for information on home malting. My plan is to make an "estate grown" beer. All ingredients grown on my property (including the yeast which is a separate thread somewhere I'm sure). I started brewing beer waaaay back...
