Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel grain germination and malting apparatus and uses thereof. The apparatus comprises a 4-tank malting and seed germination system in which each tank performs steeping, germination and kilning, as it is moved along a 2-track rail. At the first station grain is hydrated, a process typically requiring four cycles of steeping with aeration followed by air rest. Germination is continued in the second and third stations, with aeration by water-saturated air. Germination typically takes a minimum three days, but depending on genotype and species, may take as much as eight days. Kilning is performed at station four, using fan-driven, electrically-heated air to dry and cure the malt.
