QUESTION: |
What is brewer's waste? |
|
ANSWER: |
|
The malting process involves wetting the grain and allowing germination to take place. This converts insoluble starch contained in the seed into a soluble and fermentable form (maltose). The germinated seeds are coarsely ground to produce grist, from which the maltose is extracted by hot water solution. The residue is known as brewer's waste. |
