Malt was known as ... malt. or perhaps mault, or malte, or some german word I
don't remember. ;> Where you have beer/ale brewing, you have malt. In fact, I
don't know if you can make beer without malt. I don't think so. You can make
barley stuff, but it isn't beer/ale. (Beer has hops, ale does not, for a more
or less period definition.) In period, people who knew how to malt were paid
more than those who did not. I haven't personally seen any of the info on the
early Egyptian brewers, but hearsay says that there were malting
instructions/pictures.
