Malted barley are grains that are germinated. Sprouts.

The softer shell and available pulp of the seed allows fermentation.

But, the germinated seed does not stay succulent during the entire process. Once the barley has germinated it is dried. At least in the majority of times. There is such a thing as liquid malt barley.

Homebrewing is a really interesting topic. It requires some expertise in finding ingredients that work well.

“Homebrewing (click here) is the brewing of beer, wine, cider and other beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, through fermentation on a small scale as a hobby for personal consumption, free distribution at social gatherings, amateur brewing competitions or other non-commercial reasons.”

That is Eddie turning the malt with a traditional wooden paddle on a drying floor. (click here)
