In breweries, completely dry milling is generally performed by roller mills or hammer mills. If the wort separation entails using a mash tun or lauter tun, roller mills are utilized. Hammer mills are mainly made use of for the later generation of mash filters as well as constant brewing systems.

Roller Mills
Roller mills are especially fit for milling malt when the main purpose is to leave the malt husk undamaged. An undamaged husk assists wort separation and might reduce removal of tannins and also other unwanted elements.
Two-Row Mills - Two-roll mills (see Number 8.1) are single-pass mills generally made use of by craft breweries and/or for well-modified malts.
Multi-Row Mills - Multi-roll mills offer greater control of the rate of feed of the unground malt, the spacing in between rolls, and the price of rate, either attire or differential, at which the rolls are driven.
Hammer Mills
A hammer mill (see Number 8.2) includes a blades made of two or more plates with pins to bring the hammers. Hammers are merely level metal bars with a hole at one or both ends. They might have some sort of side prep work such as hard facing or carbide covering to offer far better wear resistance.
Malt Conditioning
An improvement to dry milling used by many breweries is conditioning of malt with steam or cozy water. This method reduces the danger of fracturing the malt husks, therefore the husks come to be harder as well as more versatile as a result of soaked up moisture, while the endosperm remains completely dry and also friable.
Tasting
Dry grating as well as conditioned dry milling procedures have the benefit that the smashed malt may be tested by the maker and also examined visually for uncrushed kernels, too much tearing of the husks, as well as extreme flour.
Wet Milling
Wet milling is very typical in Africa and also Asia, as it streamlines the grinding, yet it is not usual in the USA. In a wet milling operation, the entire uncrushed malt is pre-steeped in hot water to the factor where the husks reach a water web content of roughly 20% and also the endosperm stays nearly completely dry, which leads to a semiplastic, practically pasty consistency.
