What does MALT mean in Scrabble?
noun
Grain, usually barley, that has been soaked, allowed to sprout and then dried, used in brewing beer and whisky.
Malt is made by soaking grain until it begins to sprout and then drying it in a kiln, a process that turns the grain's starch into sugars a brewer can ferment. Most beer and whisky depends on malt for both its sugar and much of its flavor, and the word can also serve as a verb meaning to turn grain into malt.
