Large mechanical turners, e.g., <a href="/wiki/Saladin_box" title="Saladin box">Saladin boxes</a>, keep the much thicker bed loose with higher productivity and better <a href="/wiki/Efficient_energy_use" title="Efficient energy use">energy efficiency</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Intake">Intake</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Malting&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Intake"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The grain is received at the <a href="/wiki/Malt_house" title="Malt house">malt house</a> from the farmer.

The grain is stored in a manner that protects it from moisture and pests. A typical silo will store between 5,000 and 20,000 tons of clean dry barley ready for malting. </p><p>During storage the temperature of the silo is measured and monitored over time as a temperature increase can indicate insect activity. Additional equipment may be used to keep the grain temperature below 18 °C to inhibit insect growth. Silos are normally fitted with a system for rotating grain from one silo to another to break-up hot spots within the grain.

Steep water is added to cover the grain and the grain moisture content increases from around 12% to between 40 and 45%. In a modern pneumatic malt house, the grain is alternatively submerged (wet stand) and then drained (an air rest) for two or three cycles to achieve the target grain moisture content and chit count. The first visible sign of germination is the appearance of rootlets known as "chit"; the proportion of chitted grains indicates the progress of the steeping process. </p><p>When the grain is immersed in water (known as a "wet stand"), air is bubbled through the slurry of water and grain periodically.
