| dc.description | Malting is the process of turning raw grains into a product that can be used in brewing, distilling, and baking, to name a few end products. Currently, a small number of large companies supply malts at a large scale, particularly to brewers. As the craft beer industry has continued to expand over the past 20 years in the US, however, micro-malters have emerged providing smaller batches of specialized malts, primarily for regional craft brewers. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of such a venture given market conditions in the state of Georgia. The feasibility of a micro-malting facility in northeast Georgia is dependent on a number of factors. In this study we examine the current micro-malting industry, potential demand for commercial malts in Georgia and consumer demand for specialty malts. | |
