I seem to have a fondness for grains in cooking, so I will spend most of my time trying to see how pairings with the various types of barley, malt, and wheat react with herbs and other bases.

I've recently completed gathering data on barley/malt (raw/light/med/dark/burnt).  
* I noticed that bases have a LOT more influence on cooking this tale.  
**Unless an additive was particularly potent/close, it could not overcome the overall stats of the base. 

==Results==

==Partial Results==
*Assumptions:
**If there is a visible stat beyond stats from the base, then all should be visible.
**Since it seems base stats seem to be overwhelming when the base is 'rare', stat shifts here are ignored unless the opposite sign (i.e. -3 when base is + for that stat).

==Discrepancies==
There were a few herbs which, when used in cooking, differed from current databases.  I used the same rules as in the "Partial Results" area.
