Home Brewer's Kilning System

In 2017, there were 1.1 million people in the US who brewed their own beer. Malted barley is the primary grain that affects the color and taste of a beer. With the creation of a table-top kilning system, homebrewers can use their malted barley to make their own unique malts in small amounts by kilning in any way they please. Kilned malts stand out from each other based on the temperature and time that they are heated after germination. This product will make a difference in the malt quality.
