Malt analysis

Malt analysis is the process of evaluating malted grains, primarily barley, to determine their qualities for brewing beer or distilling spirits. This analysis measures key factors such as moisture content, enzyme activity, and sugar levels. Each factor influences the efficiency of fermentation and flavor development in beverages. By understanding the malt's characteristics, brewers can choose the right types, ensuring consistency and achieving desired taste profiles. Essentially, malt analysis helps create high-quality beer by ensuring the grains used meet specific standards for flavor and fermentation potential.
