We set the table for flavor development by controlling the level of modification that occurs during germination. This modulation continues during the kilning phase, where grassy flavors can be enhanced with cooler temperatures. Warmer temperatures can accentuate notes of sweeter toffee and freshly baked bread.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-6ct0-d79074e3abc1c67af42c079f3838c93e\">\n.avia-section.av-6ct0-d79074e3abc1c67af42c079f3838c93e .av-parallax .av-parallax-inner{\nbackground-color:#ffffff;\nbackground-image:url(https:\/\/riverbendmalt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Riverbend-Malt-House-Craft-Brewing-Malt-05.jpg);\nbackground-repeat:no-repeat;\nbackground-position:50% 50%;\nbackground-attachment:scroll;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='photobackground'  class='avia-section av-6ct0-d79074e3abc1c67af42c079f3838c93e main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-46  el_after_av_layout_row  el_before_av_layout_row  avia-full-stretch av-parallax-section avia-bg-style-parallax av-minimum-height av-minimum-height-75  container_wrap sidebar_right'  data-section-bg-repeat='stretch' data-av_minimum_height_pc='75'><div class='av-parallax' data-avia-parallax-ratio='0.3' ><div class='av-parallax-inner main_color avia-full-stretch'><\/div><\/div><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-42'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-43be-2a88e52416da9a2d3dff2ed7b1668bf3\">\n.flex_column.av-43be-2a88e52416da9a2d3dff2ed7b1668bf3{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-43be-2a88e52416da9a2d3dff2ed7b1668bf3 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-47  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-47q0-bb283e28b0878d145d071f16f485e140\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-47q0-bb283e28b0878d145d071f16f485e140 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:36px;\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-47q0-bb283e28b0878d145d071f16f485e140'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock photobackgroundtitle av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bring out the local flavor of your next project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-47q0-2-52b179888bafc82059cb8e67f4b787ec\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-47q0-2-52b179888bafc82059cb8e67f4b787ec .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:22px;\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-47q0-2-52b179888bafc82059cb8e67f4b787ec'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock photobackgroundcontent av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">We love a challenge!
