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!

    Yeah, I wanted to move to Alberta many years ago to join your university and have fun with bitumen. But I’m in Finland now, so winter is ok, and now summers are intense and hot everywhere. I don’t know why exactlt anybody would crop grow these grains south of here, where other things thrive. Leave hardy grasses for arctic steppes.
