MALTING Meaning and Definition

1. Malting is the process of preparing barley or other grains for use in the production of beer, whisky, or other fermented beverages. It involves the controlled germination of the grains, which triggers the release of enzymes that convert starches into sugars. These sugars are essential for fermentation and the subsequent production of alcohol.

   The malting process begins by soaking the grains in water, typically in large tanks or bins. This hydration activates the grains' dormant enzymes and encourages germination. The grains are then spread out on a malting floor or in special containers called steeping vessels, where they are periodically turned and moistened to maintain proper conditions. During germination, rootlets begin to grow, and enzymes break down complex starches into simpler sugars.

   After germination, the grains are dried using hot air, which halts the growth and preserves their enzymatic activity. This drying process is typically done in specialized kilns or ovens. Once dried, the grains are known as malt and are ready for use in brewing or distilling.

   Malted grains provide the essential sugars and enzymes needed for fermentation, as well as contribute flavor and color to the final product. Depending on the desired outcome, different malting techniques and varieties of grains can be used to achieve specific characteristics in the resulting beverage.

   In summary, malting is the controlled germination and drying process of grains, primarily barley, used in the production of alcoholic beverages. It is a critical step in converting starches into sugars and providing essential components for fermentation.

2. The act or process of making barley into malt.

Etymology of MALTING

The word "malting" has its roots in the Old English word "malt", which can be traced back to the Old High German word "malz" and the Old Norse word "malt". "Malt" originally referred to grains that had been soaked, germinated, and dried for use in beer production. The verb form "malt" emerged in Middle English to describe the process of preparing malted grains, which involves soaking them in water, allowing them to germinate, and then halting germination by drying in a kiln. Over time, "malting" came to refer to the entire process of making malt and became a specialized term in brewing and distilling industries.
