Abstract
A process and device for energy-efficient drying of green malt in a drying kiln using a rotational speed-modulated fan for directing an air mass flow through a bed of drying material for the green malt. The drying is implemented for a specified maximum kiln time. To do this, grain moisture content and a grain mass of a grain are detected, which constitutes a basis for the bed of drying material of the green malt after steeping and germinating, Furthermore, an ambient air humidity of an ambient air used for the air mass flow and a plurality of weather forecast data are detected at least with respect to the ambient air humidity and, during drying, a moisture content of the drying material of the green malt is monitored up to a specified limit. A rotational speed modulation of the fan is controlled such that the specified maximum kiln time is reached.
