Is there a particular reason other than cost that you are choosing to go with unmalted field grain?
If you are committed to unmalted field grain, I would recommended running it through any grain cleaning systems, wash and screening you might have available. Also, keep in mind that the malting stage of grain activates the necessary enzymes needed for starch conversion in grain. So, if you go with unmalted, you will need to supplement these enzymes to get the necessary starch conversion.
