Yep that's the one! That's such a bummer. I'm just hoping someone has it floating around. I've read Colobrewer's homemalting thread. Awesome stuff. It's up to like 70 pages right? :)

Holy f**k is right! The home malting is one of the ways to get around "the man". Also, I bring in hops from the US. You can ship them in and they are looked at like tea. There isn't an importation tax on them. If you buy about 5 pounds, with shipping, they are about 2 dollars a pound. Not...

I home malt and am fascinated by the subject. Unfortunately it's not a very popular homebrewing technique. I've read about everything I can find online about it. I've heard a few times that the crafterbrewer.org podcast about it had pretty much the most information about the subject. Sadly...

There is good info there. I think his/their right up gave me the confidence to start in the first place.

Awesome link BTW!

Well you got half that right. I'm 30 but male but nonetheless; "hot" to use parlance of the thread :) I'll be sure to change the profile setting. I live in South Korea. It's the government that taxes imports so heavily. They protect their markets big time. I'd venture to say that 99.0%...

So I'm a home (apartment) malter. Not because I'm a massicist but more out of economic neccesity (import tax puts malt at about 4 dollars a pound here!) I've done about 20 batches or so with the product, so I'm quite fimiliar with the process and very happy with what I can produce. With...

I was under the assumption that crystal malt was soaked in warm water then heated for 2-3 hours at 275f to "crystalize". Isn't a low temp kiln (90-130f) simply meant to halt conversion. At any rate, I'll try drying first then a short kiln.

I've read it the other way though I'll try it your way to see if I get an improvement; dry first THEN heat.

Thanks for the tips! How long do you dry for with your big fan? Also, do you have a temperature estimate that your high setting on your dryer dries for? Malt on!

There's a lull on the action in this thread so I'll pitch in. I'd like to add a couple of bits of info if it helps anyone here connect the dots. I started home-malting because the price for 2-row here is about 4.50 a pound! DME is 8 dollars a pound! 1) I've been able to achieve...

Studying Japanese are we?

I agree. I had to make a couple of substitutions because I'm out here in Korea so I had to use Cascade hops and Munton's dry yeast but I'm absolutely shocked at how delicious this is. Won't brew anything else!

Can anyone verify if there is a structural difference betwixt the PET water bottles and say the PET soda bottles? I just had a PET water bottle, for lack of a better term, queef off it's carbonation from under the cap. I heard it from a couple feet away. The pop bottles threading looks...
