"a malt that soon ferments and become slightly alcoholic." Isn't malt germinated grain that has been roasted? You would need some sugar to get alcohol. --Yak 08:57, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- no. In the germination process, the starch of the grain is changed into maltose, a form of sugar, and that is changed into alcohol during fermentation. Ungerminated grain only contains starch, no sugar. --Yak 09:09, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

From the language, it appears certain that it wasn't just one paragraph quoted from the 1881 book, but the next three as well. I have assumed that to be so, and made the following changes
- moved the blockquote down
- changed Wiki header to html header
- enclosed conversion in brackets and rounded them appropriately, on assumption that they were not in original
