Malting The Barley
We could not get malted barley so we need to DIY it
 |
 |
 |
 |
4 trays with holes drilled in the top, fill two trays with 1/3 with barley
 |
 |
|
Fill 2/3 with warm water. Remove everything from the surface
Replace the water every 4 to 8 hours.
Cover and wait 1 to 2 days until the barley splits
When split keep covered and turn every 2 to 4 hour spray with water
Once the barley has split turn and spray until the shoot is the same size as the seed difficult to see until you see it.

Two schools of though, one says keep under water for 1 to 2 days and the other says flood and then drain… let do both and see what happens and as in turned out the flood and drain was ready to start drying the morning of the 17th….
