Re: [DIYbio] help out a noob, marmite for malt medium?

Go to a store that sells to beer brewers, there you should be able to
get various stages of malted grain and probably also food-grade
maltose. You could also malt your own grain (in general, look up more
details if interested) by sprouting grains then browning in a home
oven. You should then be able to throw this into a spice/coffee
grinder to roughly mill it, then add it to the rest of the media (PDA
works for a lot of fungi).
