Barley Malting Spring Growth, March 15, 2011

The malting barley plot is perking up . There have been a few nice days in the low 60s and plenty of rain. The barley grass is noticeably greener than the adjacent grass lawn. It is also growing and the brown tips are being superceded by green. If all goes well, harvest in about 90 days.

  1. We are in the process of planting hops next month and are opening a small nano brewer in NOVA and hope to open to the public in June. Would love to learn about the barley side from you.

    Cheers,

  2. Thanks for the email. Your nano brewery project sounds excellent. I wish you luck and look forward to drinking some of your products. I would be happy to talk to you about barley growing and malting on a nano scale in NOVA. My next project is to build a larger kiln so I can handle as much as 100 lbs. Of malt at a time. Please email me off-line at: rcg@gustafsonassoc.com
