Describe the 3 steps used in the malting process.

Steeping: Barley grains are soaked in water to promote germination. This step is essential for starting the biochemical processes that break down starches into fermentable sugars. Germination: The soaked barley is allowed to germinate under controlled conditions. During this stage, enzymes are activated, which break down the stored starches into simpler sugars that are later used in the fermentation process. Kilning: After germination, the grains are dried in a kiln to stop the germination process. This step not only halts further enzyme activity but also imparts specific flavors and colors to the malted barley.
