1 Milling the grains
Malted cereal grains (primarily barley) form the heart and wsoul of any beer recipe, providing the fermentable sugars needed to produce alcohol. Head brewer Ian McConnell leads us to the shed on Sixpoint's roof to collect the specialty malts (many of which are imported from centuries-old malt houses in England) that will give the porter its dark color and rich flavors. The grains are ground down and then dropped through a chute into a large metal vessel (the mash tun) down on the brewery floor.
