Register / View: Steeping: The Fulcrum Between Good and Bad Malt
In this presentation, we will start with an overview of the steps in the malting process: Steeping, Germination, and Kilning. We will then take an in-depth view at the importance of the steeping process in malting, why it is the focus for a maltster, good versus bad barley, and the biochemistry in steeping.
