Growing for grain: Can this barley be grown out to produce barley for brewing beer?

Richard did anyone ever get back to you on this? I am also looking to grow my own barley for the same purpose. Can you post your supplier?

THe brew, once made should be applied ASAP, as it is alive. It is AMAZING stuff - you can literally watch your garden come alive !

Yes it will, I believe it has been answered fully by Chess Nerd, I also roast my specialty malts, I also malt my own barley.

Sold as WHOLE GRAIN hulled Barley but it was pearled barley. I think it is a incompatible between a pearled and whole grain as in hot ice.

No, You can use recipe kits or use your own ingredients. This is the basic setup you would need to brew two-stage beer, the plastic is the primary fermenter and the glass (carboy) is the secondary fermenter. Two-stage brewing results in a more conditioned clearer beer. Salute!

I couldn't tell you. I didn't test the gravity at any point. It didn't make good beer anyway. If you want my suggestion. Go to www.northernbrewer.com. And order their brewing kit. Either the large 5 gallon kit if you really want to brew. Or the 1 gallon kit of you want tiny amounts. It's real brewing.

i don't think so. My spouse is the beer brewer but it is a very specific recipe. The cans of malt are syrupy and i don't think you could ever measure the stuff out and get it right. Ya gotta stay with the recipe as it is or go to a brew store near you and have them make you a mix. And if you buy one of those 5 gallon fermenters, get plastic not glass. we don't usually break things but we broke that and the plastic has worked well. hope this helps.

If you have the rest of the kit, all the right items that you need to brew are probably in there. That being said, sanitation is KING when you are brewing. Keep it clean, or your hard work will be all for naught, and your beer will taste like sadness. Seriously! Cleanliness!!

This is just Millet grain, commonly found in birdseed. You would have to grind it up to make bread out of it. Great River Organic Milling sells rye flour for making bread, I'm sure the have millet flour, too.

Aimee, You can make a brew from start to finish. In fact, you make 2 with this kit. However, I would gather $10 or so and get a hydrometer to measure specific gravity before and after fermentation to verify alcohol content and if fermentation is complete. You don't have to because this kit includes "Hopped Extract" which means that you don't need to add any Hops to your brew, they did it for you. It is completely ready to go and the results should be the same every time you make a batch. They take all the science out of the process by pre-hopping the extract. Last note: My friends love the Aztec and Bohemian extracts that came with my kit. I have now moved onto All-Grain brewing with the occasional non-hopped extract brew. Good book to read is "How to brew" by Palmer. Hope that helps!

This is not used for fermentation. That requires a sealed container with a vent. Even with a fermenter you should prime your beer prior to bottling.

Yes...we use it to brew beer using the Nu-Wave induction heating element.....works great. Takes a while to get that much water to temp though....but holds it steady....we love it.

No you can brew your own beer from start to finish with this kit. There is nothing else that needs to be purchased to make the beer. Just make sure you follow the instructions correctly and you will be fine on brewing your own beer.

It's all in the ratios. But, since it takes so long to brew a batch I'm inclined to make as much as I can. But, if you follow the ratio of water and grounds, and follow the steps, I'm sure it would work just fine.

I would not use the grain mill for that. You can use a blender or small coffee grinder though.

It will -- but the temperature range is too high for brewing beer. The markings will be difficult for you to read at lower temperatures. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Brewcraft-Thermometer-Homebrew-Brew-Kettle/dp/B009CTQ2MK will be more what you're looking for.
