Scale:

6-7 Kg

Trials:

All brewing trials and advanced breeding lines

Throughput:

4 samples per week, soon to be 5 as we are expanding our system!

Our macro malting setup allows us to malt barley at a scale that supports the needs of our brewing system. This process is the most real-world representative due to it's scale. We use false bottoms in our steep/germ tank for this process, which means we forgo the automated turning and get a chance to be hands on with our malt, doing regular manual turns of the grain to keep in consistent in process. These larger batches also require a larger kiln vessel for drying.

 

Below are images of the false bottom in place, the tank filled with grain and ready to begin steeping, what the grain looks like mid-process, and an image of the kiln bucket for drying the malt after germination.
