Traditional Barley germination and Industrial Barley germination

  Industrial barley germination have eliminated wooden shovel and switched by automatic rotating blades to shovel barley.

  Now industrial malting has almost replaced the traditional way of malting. Only a few distillers still have their own barley plants for convenience or economic reasons. In fact, these distillers only keep 10-30% of the barley to produce the malt at home. The main reason for insisting on producing the malt in destillery is to continue historical traditions or to develop tourism resources.

 Experts unanimously believe that industrial malting can execute each malting process perfectly, making the growth of malt more uniform. Therefore, nowadays, the work of making malt from barley is usually been done by professional barley germination factory.
