Abstract
The present invention relates to methods for preparing cereal-based beverages. The present invention provides, for example, methods for steeping and germination of cereal grain under continuous aeration. Particularly, the present invention provides methods for heating the germinated cereal grains prior to wet milling of germinated cereal grains and direct transfer of the germinated grain, without drying, to the brewery for further processing. Compared to current methods the methods of the present invention significantly reduce water consumption, energy consumption and transport need.
