My lady, if you are willing to take a day or so and have the
space to do it, you can make your own powdered malt by sprouting
wheat berries until the sprouts are about the same length as the
berrie itself, spread them on a baking sheet and toast in a 250 F
oven until golden brown and crisp (about ten minutes IIRC). Let
cool completely and pulverize in a food processor or grind in a
mortar and pestle. Viola! Malt powder...

fifty pounds of wheat berries...) >>
Hummm, I've read of this procedure--keep meaning to do it, in fact--but I
thought it created the diastatic malt, which I was under the impression was a
different beastie than the stuff I Iove in my milkshakes. BTW, the groceries
around here (Chattanooga, TN, mundanely) do carry malt powder, though not
always consistently..........
