malthouses

Barley transformation facilities

Malthouses is the plural of malthouse, a building where grain—typically barley—is converted into malt for brewing or distilling.

The process involves soaking, germinating, and drying the grain.

Historic malthouses are architectural landmarks in brewing regions: The old malthouses along the river have been converted to apartments.
