Brent and I just completed our second week of malt training at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmbtc.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Canadian Malt Barley Technical Centre<\/a>. Our typical day starts with 3-4 hours of lecture in the morning, followed by \u201chands-on\u201d work in the malt house or lab\u00a0 in the afternoon. The lectures have covered everything from the biochemistry of malting to world market conditions. These lectures have been presented by a variety of staff members who have decades of experience in the field of large-scale malting and brewing operations.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the lectures, CMBTC has also performed a comprehensive malt analysis on several samples we brought from North Carolina. While I won\u2019t bore you with the specifics, the take home message is encouraging\u2026.our 6-row barley is comparable to commercially available varieties!<\/p>\n<p>Whats next you ask?\u2026.We\u2019ve got 1 more week of training where we tie the finished malt to brewing process. This will give us the tools we need to work with our clients to produce high-quality craft beer. We will also tour a large commercial malt house that produces 90,000 tons of malt a year!<\/p>\n<p>After that we\u2019ll be back in Asheville to resume construction at the malt house.\u00a0 Maybe we can get together for pint, eh? (Sorry, couldn\u2019t resist using the other Canadian language joke)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings from Winnipeg!
