Very.. uh, odd question. I bought some really goddamn delicious sprouted almonds the other day and got to wondering if you could malt almonds/other nuts like you do barley for making whiskey, then mash and ferment?
Anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Seems unlikely, there's so much protein in nuts.

However you can crush and soak them in vodka to make a ballin Almond infusion. Different than Amaretto which is made without any almonds what-so-ever (apricot pits).

There was a huge infusion thread going that recently got caught in the purge. Not sure if another has been started but I would assume so.

Oh yeah, love making infusions. I've been thinking about starting a new thread for infusions but :effort:.
Protein throws off fermentation huh?

I've experimented with a few different apfelwein yeasts and my favorite so far is hefeweizen. Gets you a nice banana flavor and mellows considerably more quickly than montrachet, from what I've found.
