Useful as accessible preparation-for-fermentation framing. Do not confuse enzyme development during malting with completion of starch conversion in mashing; detailed biochemistry, kilning rates and historical generalizations need technical corroboration. Verification confirms source fidelity, not a scientific validation of every neighboring statement.
Opening of the introductory production walkthrough, followed by kilning and peat. The selected paraphrase is narrower than the surrounding historical and technical assertions.
Risen describes moistening barley and allowing germination so it develops enzymes that can convert its starch to sugars yeast can use. Drying then arrests germination before the growing plant consumes the reserves.
