This article looks into how malting and mashing are enzymatically connected. Do you think of yourself as actively collaborating with your maltster when you brew?

Also, this is the third article we’ve written, so we’re hoping to get some feedback. What do you think of these long-form articles?

You have a maltster???

I am jealous...

Thanks, I enjoyed it. I have a very weak scientific background myself and while I'm trying to improve on that, it definitely helps to have things simplified like this.

I generally like to see the full name of the person publishing an article. Who is this ambiguous "we" you speak of? The Borg? Legion?

Sometimes I'm my own maltster (my handle gives that one away) and sometimes I get my malt from my LHBS, but I actually don't have a local go-to malthouse, unless you count Rahr.

You might already be aware of this, but there are some small-scale craft malthouses that will sell to home brewers. Riverbend Malt House from Asheville, NC does, and they're close to you.

Glad I could make it readable for you! Science writing can be so inaccessible, so I really appreciate when the science-y topics in home brewing have been made digestible for us commoners.

Thanks! Never knew about them until now.
