Abstract
A process, and its related apparatus, for pre-treating corn or other grain, which makes use of exhaust air from a conventional dryer by conveying the exhaust air from the dryer through a heater and into a steeping container. The grain in the steeping container is slowly and evenly pre-treated as air passes through a perforated floor in the steeping container and through the grain or corn, thereby, yielding grain with uniform moisture levels and uniform quality.
