  • Question
    Is it fine to dry the corn/sprout with sunlight?
    Community Answer
    Yes, as long as you rotate the corn to help dry evenly, and the sunlight produces at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Question
    Do I save the corn, sprouts, or both?
    Community Answer
    Unless you want your wort or mash to be bitter, save only the corn to use for your brew.

  • Question
    Is there any way I can do it faster to use it immediately?
    Community Answer
    No, the malting process rate is limited/controlled by the biological process of sprouting the grain.

  • Question
    What kind of water quality is required for steeping?
    Community Answer
    Tap water will work fine. Make sure to dechlorinate it first. If you are unsure if your municipal water source uses chlorine or chlorimine, get some campden tablets to test it.

    Can I just mill the wet, malted corn immediately for use without drying it?
    Community Answer
    Many people do, although they say it can impart a bitter, grassy taste.
