Old malt

Almost a 2 year old thread dude.... reckon that brew is done and dusted by now.

Well if this zombie is walking, I'll respond to this:

Malt is actually aged a little, apparently for flavour development. Couldn't give you a figure as to how long.

Usually about a month and it's not for flavour development.

Newly kilned malt has a gradation of water content / starch structure across the grain so it shatters if you look at it wrong. Tempering the malt relieves the differential across the grain, the more homogenous malt that results mills more consistently which improves performance in the brewhouse.
