Book The ingredients of beer - MALT
Brewers often call malt "the soul of beer". This volume delves into the
complexity of this key ingredient used in all beers. The book provides a global overview of the malt world, with a focus on barley, followed by the field and throughout the malting process.
Starting from history, agricultural development and the physiology of barley seed, John
Mallet (Bell's Brewery Inc.) leads us through the enzymatic conversion that occurs during the malting process, and then goes on to the detailed description of enzymes, Maillard reactions and special malts. The issues of quality, analysis, selection, conservation and treatment of malt are addressed.
This book is of great importance for all brewers, at any level of experience, who want to learn more about the role of malt, the backbone of beer.
