Anyone here grow hops? Or make malt? Talk to me homebrewers! | Food Production and Preservation | Forums

Interested in this as well, I have made beer but always used extracts. I have a friend who is pretty heavy into brewing and creates his own malt. From what he told me you just soak the barley and let it sprout and then oven dry it before using. You can then cook the malt to form a dark malt

actually here is a pretty detailed write up of the process, anyone ever try this?

I think ashleigh11 said he grew hops, I might be mistaken though
