Happy Friday, its the weekend
I have decided to try and malt some barley, why? I work at a feed mill and we have barley, corn, and wheat come in and we test all the grain that comes in, after about a weeks time this can accumulate to about 5-10 pounds of grain, (that we just throw out) depending on what grain. so I thought to giver a try worst that happens is it molds or something and i throw it in the compost no huge lose.
I'm at the drying stag all the rootlets are about 1/2 to same size as the seed ( didn't think i would get this far first try) I forgot to keep track of the moisture oh well.. no idea what i should kiln the barley to its been drying for almost 24 hours (with a fan) pale or Pilsner maybe? will upload some pics off the phone in a later post
question, does anyone know of a good recipe i can try that is very basic and will give a good taste of the barley. is single malt recipe a thing? or will it be off putting maybe 1 or 2 ingredients.
Thanks
