Triticale is a hybrid between wheat and rye.
I was given several pounds of triticale upon agreement that I would split the final product with him.
Currently I am 24 hours into the sprout. I have tiny agrospires showing in 95% or more of the grain. The germination rate is really impressive. I will dry and kiln it in 24 more hours. Not worried about all the ergot fungus fuss, as the malting is half over and the whole lot looks clean and happy as can be.
After malting, I will toast it at 180F or less for a few hours. Just looking to dry it for milling.
I will be using it in a light ale recipe, as I want to see what flavors the triticale brings. Unsure what yeast or hops to pair with it. I suppose my obvious choices are some sort of RyePA, a Belgian saison, belgian whit, heffeweizen, or german wheat style.
I have maris otter, pilsen, pale ale, ect.. to pair it with. I will have to use alot of rice hulls, as I have been told it makes more gum than wheat.
Should be an interesting brew. If yall have any ideas or suggestions i'm open.
