Does anybody have experience with using regular barley used as animal feed for making malt on their own? i have an endless supply of the stuff from a friend that uses it as animal feed.
I was wondering if i really need specialized malt or would regular barley make an OK beer. I’m mostly curious and I don’t want to waste time on a malt that would definitely result in a bad beer, I’m new at homebrewing and it would take up my only fermenting pot until it finishes.
any thoughts or suggestions? thanks!
I might be wrong, but I assume agricultural barley, is not malted.
good point, but yes, i know, it is time consuming, but i find the whole process to be interesting. it’s more a novelty and a learning experience than it being very practical
