How is barley malted?

The barley is allowed to begin germination which generates enzymes. Then after a bit, the germination is halted by roasting the barley. Different types of roast are used to make different styles of beer. When the barley gets "mashed" it is soaked in warm water around 150 f, and the enzymes convert the starch to sugar. The sugar is used later by the yeast to make alcohol.

What is the highest alcohol content?

The highest alcohol content physically possible is 100% abv (alcohol by volume) although this is not suitable for human consumption. The highest alcohol content for a distilled beverage is around 190 proof or 95% abv for grain spirits such as Everclear or Gem Clear. These highly flammable beverages are most often mixed with non-alcoholic drinks such as fruit juices, or in a large communal punch bowl as in "jungle juice." As most liquor is between 40 and 50% abv, the ingestion of such spirits often causes extreme intoxication.

Do you have any idea where you can get beer seeds?

After much research, I have come to the conclusion that California Beer Seeds were actually "Water Kefir Grains"! Water kefir grains grow in a mixture of sugar and water, and create a slightly lemony beverage with some fizz and a touch of natural alcohol. Hence, BEER (sorta)! Plus it is a natural probiotic beer, to boot! How fun is that! You just need the "seed", sugar, water and a couple of jars, and you get all kinds of fun! Plus the kids enjoy watching the grains kinda bounce up and down, and multiply! Very awesome, I think!

Just Google that phrase, and you will find plenty of places to get it. Amazon carries "water kefir grains" if you shop on there. If you want to see what it looks like, I just googled it with "pic" behind the phrase. It looks a little earthy, but I bet it isn't half bad when its strained! I am thinkin of giving it a try myself!

How make alcohol without distilling?

Wine and beer production converts sugar to alcohol without distilling. However, the yeast that performs this process will die off at high alcohol levels, the reason it is difficult to produce any beer or wine with more than a 20% alcohol content. Nearly all alcohol product that has a higher percentage is distilled, but there are exceptions using special processes to get close to 30%.
