That’s pretty interesting. I’d be curious to see what differences people notice (if any).
Maybe there’s a reason it hasn’t been done in over 200 years?
Nothing else you’d definitely have to adjust your strike water temp. 
Sure, it would be a logistical nightmare at any real scale. Sounds neat to me.
Somewhere I have read that the malt needs to rest after kilning, I thought that was for better extract. Taste? Anyone have a clue?
"2.6.3 Malt storage
The water content slowly increases during
storage to 4 - 5 % . This results in physical and
chemical changes in the endosperm which
make further processing easier. Freshly kilned
malt if used immediately can cause lautering
and fermentation difficulties.
Malt is therefore stored at least 4 weeks
in silos or stores. Since most of the seedlings
are no longer alive and respiration in the corn
would only cause undesirable losses, the malt
silo is not ventilated. A precondition for proper
storage is that the malt does not become moist
because it is hygroscopic. Moist air therefore
has to be kept away. The malt which is to be
stored has to be well cleaned, cold and dry.
In silo storage, because of the smaller sur-
face area, the risk of water uptake is lower
than when storing in malt stores. In malt stores
the malt layer is about 3 m high. Previously this
was often covered by a layer of germs which
absorbed the moisture and consequently pre-
vented water uptake by the malt." -Kunze

If you left now, Denny, you could give us a first hand report tonight.
Yeah, but I have sensible things to do…
Where’s you “try it for yourself before you judge it” attitude?
Oh, it’s still there…just expressing my skepticism.
So try it before you judge it unless you’ve already judged it
I am making a SWAg based on info I have available. I look forward to someone seeing what happens.
If anything like a gose, the style had almost been lost to time in a lot of senses. With everything from the spread of civ, ready sources, prohibition… its possible that it just simply either wasn’t done right or alltogether just hadn’t been done and publicized.
Begs curiosity though
