Description

Malt: A Practical Guide from Field to Brewhouse by John Mallett is a comprehensive exploration of the backbone of beer. This book delves into the history of malting, tracing its development from ancient times to the present day, and examines the impact of industrialization on the craft. The author explains the science behind malt production, including the role of enzymes, starches, sugars, and other compounds in shaping the flavor and character of beer. He also discusses various types of malt, such as base malt, caramel malts, and roasted malts, as well as specialty grains like wheat, rye, and oats. By understanding where malt comes from and how it is grown, brewers can better appreciate its importance and make informed decisions about ingredient quality and analysis.
