Just wondered (punching above my weight a bit actually as have just moved on from kits) - has anyone got experience of brewing from barley by germinating grains in a windowsill propogator (with wet tissues, school biollogy class style), roasting in the oven as you would pine nuts (but more controlled) then crushing in a food processor?
way optimistic?
can see how getting back to first principles could be an obsession.
thanks for thoughts!

well I reckon if you have enough windowsills to cope with 5Kg of grain, then you can afford the ready made stuff!
the food processor would do way to much damage to your malt. grains are only cracked, the processor would turn some of it into dust. Tannins would be overpowering.
the oven isn't going to have fine enough control to do the deed.
sorry if that sounds way to -ve
