It`s a few years since I left the grain trade (Miller) but if I remember correctly, before barley could be accepted for malting it had to be tested for a certain amount of nitrogen. If the grain sample passed the test it was then taken into the Maltsters,(say Baird of Pencaitland)I believe they add the malt and start the germinating process when it`s then called malted barley. I think that infos right and hope that it helps you.
