Me too, when Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 4 about being transformed in the air, it’s like the chaff being removed off our new bodies. What have you found? I am looking at Ruth, Hosea and a bit with the Samaritans in regards to barley.
This is pretty much the most badass home grain video I've seen. The beard, the ink, the ninja threshing, the battering ram, and the B.A.S.E. winnowing. At the end, I was hoping to see him jump off the ladder with the battering ram and show that barley where those hulls had better be when he was done.
I am working on a Bible study about how Barley is harvested and how wheat is harvested is there a difference? Also if you have a large amount would you use a threshing sled on wheat and barley?
I have never processed wheat, but I imagine it would be exactly the same. I have not used a threshing sled, but any mechanized process would be easier then doing it all by hand with flails.
The hulls are tight to the grain on barley, so they were not separated. I was using the barley for beer, so it was ok to leave the hulls. I saved some for replanting.
I store it in plastic 5 gallon buckets. Even though I hate plastic, there are not many more options, and it is very convenient. If it is dry enough to winnow, it is dry enough to store in buckets with lids indefinitely. Are you looking for mould production, like ergot for psychedelics?
Klayton Curtis so when you cut it, how long do you dry the bushels for. We are a distillery and we planted our first barley field in the spring. And we are getting it all by hand, like the old time distilleries, but we don’t know shit lol.
How long to leave the bushels drying in the field depends on weather, humidity and temperature. In my part of the world (San Juan Islands, south of Vancouver) it only took a few days in the dry season of August for the cut stocks, stacked in bushels, to dry out completely. But in general, when you see the heads start drooping down lower than horizontal, they are probably dry enough to shatter off the stock when thrashed. I ended up just stripping most of the heads off the stocks in the field in stead of busheling them, but I only had about 1/4 acre to harvest.
I have a question for you since you harvest barley. When barley is ready to harvest and it’s heavily pearled, what color is the field? Is the field a white color?
Pearling is not part of the harvesting process; To pearl is to remove all the brand from the kernel, to 'polish' it. It's the more heavily-processed, less nutritional way of treating barley, as opposed to simply threshing and winnowing away the chaff. Ripe barley in the field looks the same as a ripe wheat field - golden, and wavy.
If you havent mechanization (even primitive, made of wood), then not really. It can be more effective, if you have that "nunchak" (here its called cep and that process is called cepovanie), which allow you to beat out grain from spike much better than just beating it with sticks and also dismantled spikes into smaller pieces so wind more easily take them out as if they stay in bigger chonks. But other than that, if you do it manualy, this is how its done.
