A main ingredient in most beers is malted barley, though the [[Malting Process|malting process ]] can be applied to many other cereal grains. Malting is a process in which grains are allowed to germinate and then quickly dried in a kiln before the plant has a chance to fully develop. The malting process develops ''enzymes'' that are required to modify complex starches in the grain into simple fermentable sugars during a later step in the [[Processes|brewing process]] called ''mashing''. ===The Malting Process===* [[Malting Process]] - An article on the malting process.
