For people like me, who come from Bavaria, barley is our favorite grain. Barley malt is used to make all kinds of beer. It needs a cooler climate to mature just right. Wheat is also a good ingredient to make wheat beer, which we call 'Weissbier" in Bavaria, a beer that is drunk primarily in the morning, the exact reason why I could never really figure out, except that it tastes good.

Most of the barley is a feed grain very simular to corn in feed rations. Malt barley is used in beer. I'm sure malt barley can be fed but not visa versa.

Back in the 1930's-40's my mom said her brothers loved feeding the pigs bad batches of home made beer........ a good time had by all. :))
They were from German/Poland. That area that changed hands every few years so folks kept two flags handy.
