My pointers are pretty basic, I usually only do 5kg at a time and only in summer.
I got an air dry rack thing that folds up, I soak the grain then sit it in it on Hessian, cover it the sane and keep it moist until it sprouts hanging up under a tree.
I thought about building a big incubator type system but I just don't have the space, maybe once I build the new shed.
I've done corn just in the bag, soaked it in a bucket then hung it up, soaked again and did the same a few times.
That actually worked pretty good.
But drying and cleaning has always been the manual Labor part for me, although I enjoy doing things the more simply hands on way. It's also only do a single run of my whiskeys and rum a year, so I only need to malt enough for one run anyway.
