Excerpt from The Steeping of Barley: A Comparison of the Effects of the Use of Hard and Soft Waters
For the purpose of making experiments to determine the amount of substance going into solution, the malt - house operations during the steeping andfsprnuting process were adhered to as much as was possible under the circumstances. Previous to entering the steep tank the barley is washed, and this may be accomplished in several ways. One method employs an injector-shaped vessel, where the grain and water are allowed simultaneously to enter, being there thorough ly mixed and the grain washed, whereupon both pass over a sieve, where the grain is intercepted and transferred to the steep-tank.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the effects of water hardness on the steeping of barley during the malting process. The author conducts experiments using various water compositions, ranging from soft to extremely hard, to determine the impact on the substances extracted from the barley. Steeping is a crucial stage in malting, as it initiates the germination process and influences the final quality of the malt. The author explores the popular belief that soft water is more effective for steeping, yielding higher levels of desirable substances. Through their experiments, the author provides evidence to either support or refute this claim. The book delves into the chemistry of water hardness, discussing the presence of minerals such as calcium and magnesium and their potential effects on the solubility of various barley components. It also examines the role of other factors, including temperature and steeping time, in the overall extraction process. By presenting detailed analyses of steep water and malt samples, the author offers valuable insights into the relationship between water hardness and the composition of the resulting malt. These findings have implications for brewers and maltsters seeking to optimize their malting practices and produce high-quality beer.
