making malt at home

[hector]

Hi there !

I have 4 Kg of 2 row Barley and I'm going to make malted Barley at Home .

I've read a lot about the Process . It was written in an article that for making Pale Malt as a base malt ,

the green malt should be kilned for 3-5 Hours at 176-185 Degrees Fahrenheit ( using the Oven ) .

How can I find out if the green malt has reached to the point ?!

How long should I wait ? 3 , 4 Or 5 Hours ?!

Perhaps I should worry about the Electricity Bill , too !!!

Oven (meat) thermometer or a digital thermometer with a remote probe.

I take it you do know that there is a lot more to malting barley than just warming it in the oven. There are a lot of processes before the above stage.
