Would it be possible to malt hemp seeds to use them in a mash like regular malts? Has anybody tried it?
I don't know where Ohia is. Is that Canada? Hemp seeds in the US have been sterilized. They are also not allowed to be grown here, at the current moment.
Ask the Hemp Ale brewers.
I have a friend with a hemp farm that has a plethora of fresh seeds, and he's trying to offload them on me. Do you think these would work? Or maybe a cereal mash?
Anyway the reason I'm bumping this thread is because I found this helpful chart on how to extract malts from grain (see attached).
Just thought I'd point out that this chart assumes that you're starting with malt, not raw grains. Confusing labeling on their part.
Very cool that you're going for it. Have you tried malting hemp yet?
Thanks for pointing out the shortcoming of the chart!! I haven't malted anything yet, but I want to grow some barley and malt that! Seems like a better starting point than HEMP
I understand one would have to germinate and roast the seeds. The biggest challenge for the would-be maltster in the U.S. market is finding viable hemp seeds. I think it's been mentioned that the ones they import from Canada have been irradiated.
