@merryn02.bsky.socialWell they've got the headline right here. They found a handful of 6500 year old malted emmer wheat, evidence that may point to beer production. More details in this report on Solnitsata excavations @larsga.bsky.social. #Bulgaria #Varna #malt š»šŗ
@merryn02.bsky.social@merryn02.bsky.socialI disagree. How is it 'more complicated'? Making malt and malt sugars from grain is easier. Wild grain in the epi palaeolithic Near East was tiny, maybe the size of grape pips Also very hard and tough. Not easy to grind into flour. Much easier to steep, dry in the sun and crush with a stone. #malt
@merryn02.bsky.socialIt's not complicated to make malt and malt sugars from grain. Natufians were experimenting with wild foods, tiny grains, lentils and more. They were steeping, crushing, grinding. They discovered that germinated grain was friable, easier to crush and when heated with water it makes malt sugars. #malt

@merryn02.bsky.socialI had access to a copy of this book twenty years ago when I was working on funding applications. A cereal processing scientist at UMIST I was working with told me I'd better not damage it, so rare was the copy he lent to me. Great that it's available online now. Please share the link. #malt #malting

@merryn02.bsky.socialDo you ever feel that, as a researcher, you chose the wrong thing to study? I reckon I did. Malt and malting are not even on STEM pages. Unless someone can find it there because I haven't found it there yet! Must be looking g in the wrong place ...

@merryn02.bsky.socialLovely to see such enthusiasm for floor malting technology and maltsters!
Not been Warminster Maltings yet. I've been to Fawcetts Maltings. I went to learn from the maltsters when I started my research on malt back in 1998.
Floor malting: an ancient technology going back thousands of years. #malt
@miklix.bsky.socialBlackprinz malt is ideal for creating beers with a rich, roasted taste while avoiding the harshness found in traditional black malts.
@dr.h.winesky.app...for me. Iām sure Fa would like it, though.

@beers.bsky.socialcraftmaltmonth.com/events/list/ Not much in the PNW, other than a #CopperworksDistillery promo. But this sounds like fun #maltsters and those in the industry that source their ingredients from them. #malt #beer #whiskey #whisky #bourbon #craftmaltmonth
@miklix.bsky.socialBrewing beer with coffee malt results in a sweet, mild roast flavor with less bitterness.
