Malting 55Lb of 2row Barley Steeped for 28-29hrs unarated @ 35% moisture stir every so often so the grain would release CO2 and absorb H2O, weighed the barley to give the desired malt "Pale malt" dont have humidity/temperature controller once the enzymes fired up hit max temp 22.9C for few hrs after that flash every 12-24 hrs the grains cooled a point, and are currently holding 18C-19C i dont think few hours should matter that much but it would be desirable to hold temps @ 18C-20C throughout the Malting process for that malt style grain. The bed is about 4inches keeps the grain nice and cool Light spray to the top 12-24 hrs and mix the grain bed Germanation is consisant and the malt smells like cucumbers.

Cheers

you malt your own grains?

Currently experimenting with sours. Got two wheats side by side. One with a standard wheat yeast, the other with gigayeast sour cherry funk. Hopefully gonna have some side by side tests soon. The sour cherry funk was aged at RT for about 4 months.

Also gave a guy who works in same building as me some of my chocolate oatmeal porter. He asked for my recipe and is tempted to start brewing. He has two fermenters sitting around (80L & 130L). He was talking about brewing beer for the building.

Yeah jsut put that batch in the bag turned out good, I have a test starter at 3 to 1 water/malt its fermenting quite well, i lost my hydrometer, malt taste extreme well "Sweet Cucumber" my second batch i left unarated for 45hrs grain has a bit of a funny smell to it like sour but not quite at any rate still germenate it if anything just make like a sourbeer out of it lol
I thought the temperitures were cool enough in the basement but i guess next time ill keep steeped grains over 24hrs at 15c or less smell few times stronger then 12on12off barley so they got a bit hot "learning" Anywas Cheers i suppose were both working with sours this week hopefully after few days the smell decreases and its doesnt effect the taste of the Malt.

Cheers.
