Malt

Malt is germinated cereal grains that have been dried in a process known as "malting". The grains are made to germinate by soaking in water, and are then halted from germinating further by drying with hot air.

Quotes

• Oh many a peer of England brews
  Livelier liquor than the Muse,
  And malt does more than Milton can
  To justify God's ways to man.
  Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink
  For fellows whom it hurts to think.
  • A. E. Housman, A Shropshire Lad (1896) No. 62, st. 2.

• Let's not jump to malt liquor, but something in the middle.
  • Dickie Roberts, interpreted by David Spade in Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003), written by Fred Wolf and David Spade.
