Our malted barley has already been partially germinated, and the process was stopped at the point of highest enzymatic activity, which is exactly what we want from a horticulture perspective. There is no need to sprout the seeds and risk anaerobic conditions.
Key things we want you to know
Brand: Great Western Malting
Certifications: USDA Organic
Barley enzymes include amylase, arylsulphatase, β-glucosidase, cellulase, chitinase, dehydrogenase, phosphatase, protease and urease.
Make your own DIY enzyme top dress at an affordable price. Grind the barley fresh, top dress your plant, and water it in. Application ranges from 1 tablespoon for small plants up to 2 cups for large plants. Grind just before use, since pre-ground barley loses its enzymes.
