Malt is germinated cereal grains that have been dried in a process known as "malting". The grains are made to germinate by soaking in water, and are then halted from germinating further by drying with hot air. By malting grains, the enzymes required for modifying the grain's starches into sugars, including the monosaccharideglucose, the disaccharidemaltose, the trisaccharide maltotriose, and higher sugars called maltodextrines are developed. It also develops other enzymes, such as proteases, which break down the proteins in the grain into forms that can be used by yeast. Depending on when the malting process is stopped one gets a preferred starchenzyme ratio and partly converted starch into fermentable sugars. Malt also contains small amounts of other sugars, such as sucrose and fructose, which are not products of starch modification but were already in the grain. Further conversion to fermentable sugars is achieved during the mashing process.
Malted grain is used to make beer, whisky, malted shakes, malt vinegar, confections such as Maltesers and Whoppers, flavored drinks such as Horlicks, Ovaltine, and Milo, and some baked goods, such as malt loaf, bagels, and rich tea biscuits. Malted grain that has been ground into a coarse meal is known as "sweet meal". Various cereals are malted, though barley is the most common. A high-protein form of malted barley is often a label-listed ingredient in blended flours typically used in the manufacture of yeast breads and other baked goods.
A malt house, or maltings, is a building where cereal grain is converted into malt by soaking it in water, allowing it to sprout and then drying it to stop further growth. The malt is used in brewing beer, whisky and in certain foods. The traditional malt house was largely phased out during the twentieth century in favour of more mechanised production. Many malt houses have been converted to other uses, such as Snape Maltings which is now a concert hall.
Production process
The grain was first soaked in a steeping pit or cistern for a day or more. This was constructed of brick or stone, and was sometimes lined with lead. It was rectangular and no more than 40 inches (100cm) deep. Soon after being covered with water, the grain began to swell and increase its bulk by 25percent.
The cistern was then drained and the grain transferred to another vessel called a couch, either a permanent construction, or temporarily formed with wooden boards. Here it was piled 12–16 inches (30–41cm) deep, and began to generate heat and start to germinate. It spent a day or two here, according to the season and the maltster's practice.
In this video I show you how I malt barley to use in my Whiskey.
There are better ways of doing it, this is just how I do it.
I do a medium roast.
Roasted Malts are created by dry toasting malts in a roaster or oven. They range from pale gold to dark or burnt browns. These colors will be imparted to your finished brew. Lighter roasts add paler colors, while darker roasts add deep, dark tones.

Malting Barley - Malting Process
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.
