So I recently came in to a good deal make that the perfect Deal. I have someone that is willing to give me Barley for free. I'm talking they showed up with 15Lb's yesterday.
My question is one how Do I roast this stuff at home? I assume I can just wondering about Temp and times for desired roasts.
Also this is a 4-6 row Barley I know the norm is 2-4 so whats the big difference? And how will this if at all affect the brew? If its not going to come out good then There is no need to fill my house with free barley. SWMBO would not like that at all.
Also if I can not roast it can I make malt with it or will the same ill effects (again if any) will come out in the malt flavor?
