You still here?

This is awesome, please keep us informed. I can't wait to see this in action and see some malt from it.

Glad to see this thread is still alive, malt on my friends!

Awesome! More home maltster interest. Myself, I am still dealing with life . . . . . even BUYING beer. We do have some Mead in the cooler though :)

Hi all! Long time no see. This red ale wasn't so hot, in fact it was bad, can't really explain the flavour, sort of tastes like worn out yeast thats been filtered through many batches of high gravity fermentations and harvested from only the less flocculant survivors :) so I believe the...

Fellow home brewers, My name is Vern, It's been about 2 years since my last brew session (beer), 3 weeks ago I developed a yearning, a distant yet familiar yearning to brew beer. I started by looking at all the yeast in the fridge, numerous jars and jugs of saved liquid yeast, all of which are...

This looks great! How's it coming along?

That's so freaky it just might be awesome! Consider pumping it (Infusing it into the finish beer) in a corny or secondary after your testing, unless that would oxygenate it too much. I'm interested in your results, never seen such a gadget.

Mine sprouts pretty evenly, as with all steps in malting it's imperative to keep the moisture content and temperature consistent throughout the grain bed, the easiest way I've found to accomplish this is my moving the grains, mixing them in the soaking receptacle, mixing them in the couching...

Interesting, thanx for posting. I was afraid a change in brewplace would change the flavour but it seems the same to me. Good to know the export isnt worth exporting, I've never seen it here.

IT'S BACK!!! Check you local stores, it's everywhere and every bit as good as before, although a tad more expensive, $8/4pack. Well worth it in my opinion.

This is awesome, the peeps at Avery donated some bombers of this golden ale to the winners of the festival and I recieved mine a few days ago. It has a label on the bag of the participant and their winning entry, a nice touch I thought. This beer is paying off. I forgot I haven't...

SMASH is about as simple as you can get.

Looking good, the acrospire inconsistency I believe will be the single most challenging problem with home malting. Rotation along with consistent moisture and temperature throughout from soaking to the end of "couching" phases should fix the problem.:mug: Then on to more challenges within the...

This may be too much humidity for sun drying and storing in airtight containers, (If the malts are sufficiently dry and the containers are air tight you will have no mold) I suggested the container as a means to keep the malts fresh and also keep out bugs, you may HAVE to use a kiln to dry them...

Vann, I believe it was right around 90F during my sun drying. If you can get it halted and dried sufficiently with the sun I believe you can probably wait to further kiln the malt. Personally I would get a large airtight receptacle such as a plastic barrel with the large mouth lid and store the...

Looks promising, as I've said before however, I'd want to devise some way to automatically "turn" the grains. I believe this to be the single most important aspect of any (and all) of the malting phases if one wants a consistent product throughout, should be do-able. Prost! :mug:

My equipment is still waiting for me, life is getting in my way.:p

You dont typically see a bunch of activity with most starters, you will have plenty of yeast. Is this a very high gravity ale?
