The Mill
The husk and the interior of the kernel - the endosperm - having been finely milled, fall into the mash tun where the 'grist' is is mixed with hot water and the conversion from starch to fermentable sugar begins.
The Mill
The malt mill is used to crack the malted grains used in brewing. Whole grain kernels are dumped in through the top of the mill, called the hopper. As the grain is poured into the mill, rotating plates shear the grain open, breaking the husk and exposing the inside of the kernel where the needed starch is located.
