Milling. For efficient extraction with water, malt must be milled. Early milling processes used stones driven manually or by water or animal power, but modern brewing uses mechanically driven roller mills. The design of the mill and the gap between the rolls are important in obtaining the correct reduction in size of the malt. The object is to retain the husk relatively intact while breaking up the brittle, modified starch into particles. 2, record 3, English, - malt%20milling

Le brassage comprend le concassage du malt, l'empâtage en cuve-matière, la filtration, la cuisson et le houblonnage. Le malt est concassé dans des broyeurs à cylindres, de façon à réduire l'amande en farine et gruaux, sans écraser les enveloppes cellulosiques. 2, record 3, French, - concassage%20du%20malt

Le concassage du malt réduit le grain en farine qui va se dissoudre dans l'eau du brassage. Le grain conserve son enveloppe intacte; celle-ci sera utile comme assise filtrante lors de la filtration du moût. Les grains de malt, bien secs, calibrés et pesés, passent entre les cylindres d'un concasseur, où ils sont simplement écrasés, juste avant leur utilisation au brassage. Certains concasseurs actuels pratiquent la mouture humide, pour éviter de déchirer l'enveloppe du malt. 3, record 3, French, - concassage%20du%20malt
