Hi guys
When I brewed my last batch(Irish Red), I had the pleasure of using roasted barley for the first time. When I crushed it, I noticed it had a nice roasty, almost coffee smell to it. This got me thinking if anyone has thought of grounding the roasted barley and try to brew it like coffee. It seems like it has similar characteristics as a coffee bean(other than caffeine n such). Has anyone been curious enough to try this or am I just whacked for thinking it?
