A steeping tank is filled with grain and then with water. The water is then circulated continuously through the steeping tank and recirculated through a heating device and pump such that the temperature in the tank is controlled. When the temperature in the tank is uniform, and has reached a desired temperature, the water pump is closed and air is then pumped into the tank until it reaches a desired pressure. Water is then circulated downwardly through the vessel so that the grain will form a suitable globule and homogenize to become a solid substance. The water in the tank is then removed which simultaneously releases the pressure in the vessel and thereafter the grain is removed.
