A barley germination process to produce green malt on a germination bed having a perforated barley supporting surface is provided. When the process is carried out with the bed full of barley, the last batch of green malt is removed from the distal end of the bed every four to twelve hours, and the rest of the barley moved progressively along the bed. There is measured and recorded the germination capacity of each batch at predetermined time intervals and the profile of the germination capacity of all the batches along the bed is compared to previously recorded data of, what are considered to be, successfully completed germinating processes. In this way, the operator can vary or increase the various operating parameters to take account of the actual situation arising in the bed. |
