Sure, thanks! Thats a lot of barley :))

Yeah, i’m curious about that to, i’ll try to read up on malting before i start

Thanks. i’ll post my results here, i’ll try to be as thourough as possible.

I’ll keep thhat in mind, thanks!

right, no use making a large batch, i could ferment in something smaller than my 25 L fermenter (aka the bucket with a spout) also malting a few kg of barley would take some time. thanks!

good point, but yes, i know, it is time consuming, but i find the whole process to be interesting. it's more a novelty and a learning experience than it being very practical

thanks for the info, i really appreciate it. i think i'll read up on barley in general and get more information. i may be able to find out what specific strain he has growing. i didn't even think about mold/ergot.

it's not really about the money, it's really about making a beer with what you have (of course i don't have hops, but that could be arranged maybe next year i guess). and a beer made from his barley would be a great gift for him i guess.

yes, i know i'll have to malt the barley first, i watched a video about that from Adam Ragusea on yt.
