Hi,
Am glad for being part of this community. I am a beginner in brewing, though am brewing for past 2 years but my brewing activities are limited to only doing experiments with fruits only. I tried a grain batch with barley and wheat but it didn't came out very well. Since I am from a place where even beer drinking is considered as a taboo and drinks are also limited to lagers majorly and weizen to a very very small level. Moreover, getting hops is also a pain, but my enthusiasm over brewing some craft encourages me to keep trying experiments.
To my latest experiment, I steeped 5lbs of barley and wheat each for malting. Since the place I am living in is not spaceous and somewhat packed with daily use of household stuff, due to this I got compelled to put my grains in a jar to sprout. I stirred and mixed the grains I put for sprouting in between, but its been 72 hours now, the grains had not sprouted, moreover the grains are now stinking too just like rotten egg. I fail to understand what could be the probable reason, as I didn't closed the mouth of the jar with its cap, I closed the mouth with a clean piece of cloth and I also do give wash to grains as it releases some heat but still. I request you to please help me with this because, the place where I live in doesn't have stable supply of malt here at my place and even if available its way too costly.
