kilning
Heat-treating grain industrially
Kilning is the process of drying or heating something in a kiln—a specialized oven or furnace.
The term appears most often in brewing and distilling, where kilning barley halts germination and develops flavor in malt: The kilning temperature determines whether you get pale or dark malt.
Kilning also applies to drying lumber, firing ceramics, or processing hops.
