Actually the rotting barley is supposed to be left in the sun for 4 months not
a kitchen. This procedure is really not that unusual. The Ancient Romans made
a sauce called "garum" which was basically rotted unpreserved, unsalted
anchovies. 
In the modern world Worchestershire and the fish sauces of Thailand come
immediately to mind as types of "rotted" sauces.
