Milling

• The barley is dressed after drying to catch any small stones or extraneous material
• Milling then starts by popping the husk via a top roller in the barley mill
• A second grinder or roller then grinds the kernel into 3 grades–
  • Husks 20%;
  • Grits (middles) 70%;
  • Flour (fines) 10%
• These proportions are considered perfect for extracting maximum sugar
• The husks also help the water drain better through the grist preventing a porridge effect from grits and flour
