Against the Grains Malt Ltd. (ATG) is a micro malt company in Petrolia, Ontario, servicing the micro-brewery, micro-distillery and home brew markets with locally grown and malted, premium quality products. With the continued expansion of the craft beer industry, there is a significant malt shortage occurring in Ontario. ATG currently has a 7500 lbs per month capacity for malting base malt, with the intent to double its capacity to 15,000 lbs per month with 2 germinator drums. In partnership with Lambton College, ATG is looking to add critical instrumentation and control systems to its new and existing facilities to optimize production and enhance efficiency.Currently, lack of consistent and reliable control and monitoring processes can result in disposing entire batches of malt, causing a huge profit loss and wasted work hours. To prevent such losses from happening, an automated system with remote monitoring capability must be installed so that malters have access and control ability to process parameters at all times. To that end, the main goal of this collaborative project is to create a small-scale specialty malt system for ATG to work more closely with craft breweries and enhance their production potential. Utilizing proper and advanced instrumentation and control systems with embedded advanced process control, monitoring and automation elements will make the malting process more efficient by minimizing labour and space while using less energy and water, making it easier, faster, safer and more accessible to operate.The success of this project will help ATG optimize their process and consequently, increase the amount of product produced, ultimately providing greater resources and availability to satisfy the growing demand for malted barley for craft beer making. We look forward to collaborating with Lambton College.

Against the Grains Malt Ltd. (ATG) 是一家位于安大略省 Petrolia 的微型麦芽公司，为微型啤酒厂、微型酿酒厂和家庭酿酒市场提供本地种植和麦芽加工的优质产品。随着精酿啤酒行业的不断扩张，安大略省出现了严重的麦芽短缺。 ATG 目前的麦芽基麦芽产能为每月 7500 磅，计划通过 2 个发芽桶将其产能翻倍至每月 15,000 磅。 ATG 与兰姆顿学院 (Lambton College) 合作，希望在其新设施和现有设施中添加关键仪器和控制系统，以优化生产并提高效率。目前，缺乏一致且可靠的控制和监测流程可能会导致处理整批麦芽，从而导致巨大的利润损失和浪费的工作时间。为了防止此类损失的发生，必须安装具有远程监控功能的自动化系统，以便制麦者能够随时访问和控制处理参数。为此，该合作项目的主要目标是为 ATG 创建一个小型特种麦芽系统，以便与精酿啤酒厂更紧密地合作并增强其生产潜力。利用适当和先进的仪表和控制系统以及嵌入式先进的过程控制、监控和自动化元件，可以最大限度地减少劳动力和空间，同时使用更少的能源和水，从而使麦芽加工过程更加高效，从而使操作变得更容易、更快、更安全和更容易。该项目的成功将帮助 ATG 优化其工艺，从而增加产品产量，最终提供更多的资源和可用性，以满足精酿啤酒生产对大麦麦芽不断增长的需求。我们期待与兰姆顿学院的合作。
