How Malted Barley Is Used In Brewing Beer

Barley is a grain or seed that very much resembles the wheat variety. This grain is mostly grown in Europe and the U. S and its main use is in the brewing of beer.

The water is then drained and the grain is kept at a constant temperature of about 60 F for four to five days so that it may sprout. Later the grain is dried
