My first barley malting

 526 grams of two row barley

Rinse / wash with water a few times 

Quick a lot floating ,~ 60g>>> some grains just time to absorb water. After 1 hour or so, most sink to bottom. So no need to throw away so early.

Rootlets start appear after one and half hour

After 6 hours, some rootlets appear 

drain for 10 min.

Steep/soak again for another 6 hours , ie 12 hours total

Only ~ half have rootlets. But bite test it's chewy.  Anyways proceed to drain and transfer to tray.

Cover with moist cloth.

Turn/mix  after 12 hours

Repeat another 12 hours 

After 36 hours, malt smell change to slight grass

After 4 days. No change.

I found that the barley has been roasted and Germinated, and ready for mashing. It's malted already. 麥芽

I chose the wrong type barley!!!
