The article deals with some  new methods of steeping which have lately been developer paging special attention to the spray steeping. A series of curves based on the  results of comprehensive experiments characterize the processes taking place in individual phases of steeping. They permit to apply technology requiring minimum number of sprays. The method is compared with other methods and modifications to ascertain its influence upon the quality of green malt. Laboratory experiments have been followed by experiments on a semi-production scale in a pilot plant. The results confirm that spray steeping can be used if the height of barley help...
