things people ask

• When would a home baker ever measure barley malt flour by the cup?
  Almost never. A single cup at 162 grams would malt roughly 32 to 160 kilograms of bread flour at the standard 0.1-0.5 percent dose, which is wholesale-bakery territory. If you are scaling up a sourdough hobby into weekend market loaves, you might portion a cup into a labeled jar and dip teaspoons from it. Otherwise, buy the smallest bag you can find and measure in teaspoons.
• Does diastatic versus non-diastatic change the cup weight?
  Not meaningfully. Both are milled from kilned sprouted barley and pack at a similar density, around 160-165 grams per cup. The difference is enzymatic, not gravimetric: diastatic malt flour retains active alpha-amylase that breaks starch into sugars during fermentation, while non-diastatic has been heated past enzyme survival and acts purely as flavor and color. Your scale will not tell them apart.
• How do I store a cup-sized quantity once opened?
  Diastatic barley malt flour loses enzyme activity with heat, humidity, and time, so seal it in an airtight jar and keep it in the freezer if you are not baking weekly. A cup will last most home bakers a year or more at teaspoon-scale dosing. Non-diastatic is more forgiving and only needs a cool, dark cupboard, since you are buying it for flavor rather than active enzymes.
