I've been wanting to make an all-local, all-grain Belgian-inspired wheat beer for awhile but am having a hard time finding the malts. Especially troubling is a lack of locally malted wheat. I can probably do the malt myself.

Speerville offers cracked wheat. Would I be able to malt it after it has been cracked?

Richard

I highly doubt it, since malting involves germination, and cracked grain is most definitely "dead".

I'd imagine that they'd be willing to supply you some "live", for your malting pleasure.
