Sprouting Hard White For Flour

[BGKYSmoker]

More and more folks at the farmers mkt are asking for fresh milled.

So

I'm sprouting some hard white that will dry in the dehydrator with fan only then into my wonder mill.

Took 2 days of soaking and rinsing 2x daily to get sprouts.
I did 4 cups of hard white. Next is 4 cups of red.

I am curious what the reason is for sprouting the wheat kernels?

As a brewer, I know that sprouting, or malting of barley is done to develop the enzymes needed to convert starches to sugars in the mashing process that all-grain brewers use when making beer.

Does any of that apply to what you are doing?

Looks good
If you get good results I foresee a grain mill in my future

Side note weather has been terrible for wheat harvest with sprouting damage and poor “falling numbers”

Finally dried and milled today.

I use whiskey corks to put in the openings on my mill so no bugs get in.

Sourdough next week.
