Abstract
The level of grain hydration and the respiration rate of barley must be controlled during the malting process to optimize the quality of the finished malt. Steeping and germination parameters must be used efficiently and effectively to control the malting process to meet customer requirements. The process services during these periods are of vital importance to quality. Several parameters were investigated and related to grain condition and consequent malt quality.
