In the malting process, the viable barley grains are converted into malt by germinating the grains to a selected degree, and then the germinated grains are dried in a kiln under carefully controlled processing conditions. Although malt production facilities around the world differ widely in design configuration and capacity, the basic process is the same. All maltsters strive for uniformity in the processes of steeping, germination and kilning, so that the resultant malt meets the functional requirements of brewing, distilling or food processing.
