/* Steps in the Malting Process */
* Moisture and germination is maintained until the green ''acrospire'' (sprout) reaches a length approximately the length of the grain. This takes approximately 5 days.
* Green malt is kiln dried until the level of moisture is reduced to about 6%. Darker grains may be kilned at higher temperature for an extended period to darken or roast the grain adding color and flavor.
* The brittle acrospires are separated from the grains, and the grains are malt is packaged for shipping.
