Don't think it will work
The Malted barly grain has an enzymatic reaction that break help down the soil to help feed the plant.

Feed your soil. Not your plant.
I just wanted to share all the wonderful benefits of a weekly top dress of malted barley powder among other grains and oats. I buy a 50lb bag of pilsner malt grain and grind it right before I apply it.

  • Contains easily available chitin [chitin is found between layers of carbonate. As it is broken down it is converted to chitinase which breaks down exoskeleton of larvae and eggs.]
  • Contains urease, phosphatase, and potasase.
  • Increases fungal activity in soil
  • Contains naturally occuring growth regulating hormones and defense triggering hormones
  • Contains enzymes that increase decomposition
  • Growers have reported up to a 20% faster finish in bloom (I have seen it)
  • Increases worm reproduction

Hydrogen Peroxide as a Pesticide
Although food-grade hydrogen peroxide has been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a plant-safe pesticide since 1998, the only pests it's registered for are disease-causing fungi and bacteria. Insects and mites aren't covered. Nevertheless, it's an environmentally safe product and, when diluted in water to a concentration of 5 percent or less, is harmless to people and animals.

The Spray
No official research has been done to establish hydrogen peroxide's effectiveness against spider mites. The Central Vancouver Island Orchid Society, however, claims that a 5-percent solution is lethal to most insects and insect eggs. The major exceptions are hard-shelled armored scales, and even they eventually die after repeated spraying.

Step 1
Dress in protective clothing and gear, including a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, socks, boots, a hat, chemicalproof gloves, safety goggles and a respiratory mask, before you handle the extremely corrosive, food-grade, 35-percent hydrogen peroxide. That hydrogen peroxide formula is available at hydroponics stores.

Step 2
Measure 5/8 cup of the hydrogen peroxide. Pour it into a 1-liter spray bottle.

Step 3
Add 4 teaspoons of 70-percent isopropyl rubbing alcohol to the spray bottle.

Step 4
Add four drops of liquid, ammonia-free dish soap to the spray bottle. It will help the solution stick to plants.

Step 5
Fill the remainder of the spray bottle with water. The hydrogen peroxide in the spray bottle is now diluted to 5 percent, and the bottle's solution should be safe to handle without protection.

Application on the Mites
Spray spider mite-affected plants with the spray bottle's solution until it covers the plants completely, including the backs of leaves, where spider mites often feed. When the hydrogen peroxide in the solution hits the plant's surface, it will "fizz," the way it does when poured into an open wound. The fizz is a reaction to the enzyme catalase found in spider mites and their eggs. Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Repeat the application as needed until the spider mite infestation subsides.

Nope. You can find at the store that sells beer brewing supplies.
