B"H eureka I found sources - see:
- SA O"Ch 442:1
- Baer hetev 2,3
- Shaarei Teshuva 3
Besheim Hacham Zvi
20
"Yash made from Malts is assur d'var Torah ... Even though the tatse of
the Malts changes..."

Note: This is the M'qor for my earlier post for R' Akiva Miller

Also see
- Hoq Yaakov 3 in the name of Mas'eis Binyamin

Also embedded there is an entire length shu"t about unsold whiskey
belonging to my namesake Re'uven ;-)

There is a possible Hiluq between Yash made from grain as opposed to
"sh'marim"

Also "Qayma lan Yash is hametz gamur and NOT zei'ah b'alma.."


For those who stay up all night doing Hilchos Pesach - 442 and this
Shu"t is. Good place to start the evening! ;-)
