Abstract: A malting system including at least one vessel coupled to a first fluid flow generator, and coupled to a second fluid flow generator, where the first fluid flow generator and second fluid flow generator generate discrete fluid flows to the vessels to both germinate and dry an amount of material contained in the vessel, where the malting system can further include a plurality of vessels coupled to a plurality of first fluid flow generators, and coupled to a second fluid flow generator, where the plurality of first fluid flow generators operate to discretely generate a fluid flow to a corresponding one of the plurality of vessels.
