Abstract
This study presents the results on the effects of moisture dependence on some properties of a variety of malted sorghum grains commonly used in a brewery in Nigeria. Properties which were determined at different moisture levels (14 - 35 %, wet basis) include physical dimensions, sphericity, 1000 grains weight, bulk density and specific heat. Results showed that for all properties studied, there were marked differences as moisture content varied from 14 % to 35 %. An exemption to this was the 1000 grains weight where no noticeable trend was observed. Results obtained in this study would be useful for design of processes, equipment and machines for handling, preservation and processing malted sorghum grains
