Roasting your own malt

Postby Sam. » Sun May 07, 2017 5:24 pm

Has anyone had any experience with roasting your own malt to create "specialty" malt?

Once I have de-rootleted (not sure that's a word :shifty: ) my last malting effort I want to have a go at making some into specialty malt so I can do a full AG beer using just my own malt.

Anyone have a handy reference for temps and timing or any hints for technique? I have a decent oven that I can select a desired temp across the range.

This excel file maybe of some help as it lists temperatures for malting grain and also kiln special malts.
