Nice to finally get the brewing going!

Just FYI, those metal beer barrels are not called tanks, but a keg. Unless you want to use the designation for another type of barrel, I'd suggest changing it to keg or beer keg to make it more obvious what's inside.

As for malting, there are malting stations that are working in a all-in-one fashion, cascading the cereal from a germinating station to sprouting, removing the sprouts and slow roasting at 85-150 degrees Celsius (depending on what kind of malt you want; most malts like Pils Malt or Munich Malt are malted at 90-120 degrees). Those are very rare and horribly ineffective, but they do exist (mostly for homebrewers who want to make their own malt or don't have any other source of malt nearby), so there's a precedent for your all-in-one.

Oh, and hoping we can make cider and mead sometime in the future in the brewery.

Interesting! Clearly know your stuff :) I suppose they are kegs but at this stage I'm just using them as a generic crafting ingredient which is why I'm using tank rather than keg, though keg does seem better and fits better yeah. Perhaps if they're only used in the brewery in the end keg would be best overall.  The all-in-one station is  supposed to represent the proper drying/steeping/germination processes, just in one piece of furniture so it doesn't add a crazy workload to the dwarves,  though at this stage that's not really shown or animated.

I definitely want to have other historical alcoholic drinks like mead and cider in the future, though I suppose both of those need the addition of their main ingredients first. Maybe I just need to add an aging process so then other drinks like whisky could be modded in at this point.

Yeah, I was a malter and brewer before, so knowing this stuff was part of the job description. It's also part of my username (Brauer means brewer in German and Luxembourgish, and the Boffer part is part of the name of the brewery I was working for).

And I'm happy to know that other drinks will be featured later on, too.

Sidd gudder deng mat Bofferdeng!  (I'm not Luxembourgish, but studied there long, long ago, and enjoyed the beers there.)
