-== What Is Malt? ==
-Malting is the controlled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germination germination] of cereals, followed by a termination of this natural process by the application of heat. Further heat is then applied to '[[kiln]]' the grain and produce the required flavour and colour. A basic rule is that for malt to be made, the barley must be capable of germination, so [[maltsters]]' source their barley with a minimum germination of 98%.  By far the largest use of malt is for brewing then distilling followed by food production.
