Received a Kölsch recipe many years ago from a German brewer which included 10% Spelt flour. Asked him why Spelt, he didn't know "it's what we always use" was the reply. Very nice Kölsch Bier!!

Would you post that recipe please.

I malted buckwheat and used it in a gluten free beer I attempted. The beer itself tasted like sh1t so I can't say what effect the buckwheat had.

There was an article on the web I found of some dude malting buckwheat so I followed that. Should work for other grains too I imagine, as long as they're raw. I found the same buckwheat in Woolies
