So on day 4 of germination and only about 50-60 5 of seeds are sprouting. Is there any way at this point to get them to re-activate and start to sprout? Put into an different container and get em real wet maybe but not soaked?
temperature and moisture level are your two main controls. if it is too cool or too dry germination will be poor. add to that the lack of stratification as discussed earlier and you may be seeing the results.
Ok, so I have dried the barley/malt and it is now ready for kilning. Average temp, based on research, seems to be about 190 for roughly 2 hours or so. Not looking for a heavy roast so this should be enough. Now the only way to find out if it was REALLY successful, is to brew with it.
190 is a good temp for pale malt. have fun brewing with it!
