@olicarnivorous I found some rare Jet Barley that i plan to grow next spring have 250 seeds not much but a start for a seed crop. this stuff grows in poor soil so i hope all goes well. it is suggested to plant 20-25 seeds per square foot. Also black barley is said to be very good and can be found online from one to ten pound bags.

@QGG92 check your inbox, I replied you with a message, as it contained a link and youtube was blocking me from posting it as a comment here

i'v got about 14,000 bushels of malt grade barley in the bin at the farm. For $6 a bushel, its all yours :P



Thanks for the great video. Towards the end you say to say not to set the oven above 50 to preserve the enzymes and then you crank it up to 100. Can you explain that?

It took a long time to find out the process and I'm not sure of the reason why exactly, but from what I understand is That whilst the grain is still has moisture in it, going above 50 is risking destroying the ensymes that turn the starch to sugar.

Awesome. Now all I need is to plant some barley! I've heard 100-140kg sown per hectare will produce about 5-6 tons!!! definitely won't be producing on this scale, but that gives you some idea of how much return you could get. Imagine all the beer you could make from just a 10m x 10m patch (1/100th of a hectare ~ 50kg).
Can't wait, cheers for the inspiration and education!

Why do the roots have to be discarded?

because it would cloud the beer.
