The key stages of milling are:
1. Receiving and storage of malt in silos
2. Passing the malt through rollers to crack the husk and grind the endosperm
3. Sieving to separate the grits from husk particles
4. Adjusting the gap between the rollers to achieve the desired grind size
A roller mill is commonly used, consisting of two or more rollers that crack and grind the malt. The grist composition for lauter tun separation typically has 70-80% of particles passing a 0.5mm sieve. Safety precautions when milling include lockout procedures and guards to prevent contact with moving parts.
