PURPOSE:To obtain uniform and high-quality malt having high enzymatic activity, by inspecting the temperature distribution of the surface of the malt layer during malting process, and locally stirring the necessary part of the malt layer when the detected temperature unevenness is out of the permissible range for the malting process. CONSTITUTION:In a solid malt production apparatus characterized by the forced air draft through the malt layer 2 from the bottom upward, the temperature distribution at the surface of the malt layer is inspected by the remote infrared thermometers 12, 13 in the course of the malting process, and the information on the temperature distribution is inputted to the microcomputer 16 and processed by the computer to detect the temperature unevenness of the malt layer. When the detected temperature unevenness is judged to be out of the permissible range by the computer, the stirrers 10, 11 are transferred to the position and operated to locally stir the part having uneven temperature to eliminate the harmful temperature unevenness. The extermination of the malt can be prevented, and a homogeneous and high-quality malt having high enzymatic activity can be prepared stably by this process.
