So for a while now I been wanting to really familiarize myself with more malts without having to crank out multiple batches a week. So I was thinking of grabbing like 2oz of each malt from my LHBS. grind up each malt in a mortar bowl or chopper. put the grain in a reuseable teabag and mash it in a thermos @ 152 degrees for like half hour, let cool and taste.

Is this a good way learn about different malts?

Would I want to do each malt by itself or pair specialty malt with base malt?

That will work, but we detail an easier way in Experimental Homebrewing.

Sorry, it's in the book, not the website. I'll post the info later when I have a pdf at hand. Also, to answer your other question, I like to do each separately. Then I can blend them to see what combos would be like.
