[edit] Malting vs. fermentation
Malting is technically not a fermentation process. Fermentation is the conversion of sugars into alcohols, while malting is a proces whereby grains are partially germinated. Germination causes starches (which are generally not fermentable) to be converted to sugars.

[edit] A Question
This article needs expanding and/or a bit more work. It is not of an encyclopedic standard. My question is: what is the point of malting? Is it purely for flavour, or preservation, or what? I came here to find that and obviously have to go looking elsewhere for a real answer.
[edit] What exactly does this sentence mean?
I don't know what this below quoted sentence has to do with the scope of the article.
"A constant moisture is held to wet my farts and growth of the acrospire."
I'm thinking someone thought this would be cute or funny so the article needs to be removed as it is not serious. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.183.88.108 (talk) 01:03, 30 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Gluten
I think this sentence fragment should be changed:
"it is possible smaller pieces of gluten called peptides"
Particularly, the word peptide is somewhat misleading, since "peptide" is a superclass of all protein fragments, not just that of gluten.
[edit] Gluten damages the bowel?
This one REALLY needs a source!
