Maltose is the name for the sugars collected from grains (usually malted barley) and is a fundamental ingredient in beer. Maltose is also known as malt sugar or malt extract.

Obtaining the maltose from the grains is done by the procedure called Mashing. If you purchase a homebrew kit or malt extract (in liquid or dried form), the mashing has already been done for you. The collected sugars (maltose) from the grains are dehydrated into either a syrup or a powder for you to add the beer you are brewing at home. When you add liquid or dry malt extract to your brew (or 'wort' in brewing terminology), or if you create a wort by adding water to the canned brew kit you bought then you are using maltose to make your beer.

What beers are made without malted barley?

Malted barley is the main ingredient in pretty much all beers, even some gluten free beers use extremely low amounts of refined barley malt extract. If you want a beer specifically not made with any barley at all, I would recommend reading labels and calling breweries. You'll probably have to avoid all mass market breweries, though I believe AB-InBev does make a sorghum lager named Redbridge (no idea if it's totally barley free).

What is the process for producing milled malt barley and how does it contribute to the brewing of beer?

Milled malt barley is produced by grinding barley grains into a fine powder. This process helps to break down the starches in the barley, making them more accessible for the brewing process. The milled malt barley is then mixed with water and heated to create a sugary liquid called wort, which is essential for fermentation in beer brewing. The milled malt barley contributes to the brewing of beer by providing the necessary sugars and flavors that yeast can ferment into alcohol, resulting in the final product of beer.
