How might I thresh barley to make beer??
I have a patch of 2-row barley growing, thickly. When ready I can mow with my tractor-mounted sickle
bar mower. But how can I thresh the grain from the straw so it will still sprout, to make malt for my
home brewed beer? I tried an unpowered reel lawnmower, didn't work. This year I expect to try running
my snowblower on slow, using tarps to catch grain. But I expect I could construct a small thresher, Powered or not? Prefer hand power to grow my own beer.

looks like the answers you already got are pretty solid. i've seen indians thresh some sort of similar plant by wearing moccasin boots and standing in a bucket and doing a dance on the plant. and they sang while they danced.
