Traditionally, many polder farms had a kiln or drying floor where chicory was dried. It was the time of the industrial revolution, and farmers were having a difficult time. A friend of Alexander Dingemans, a customs official, visited many breweries in order to levy excise duties. These breweries were operating at full speed, and he advised Dingemans to produce malt. There were a number of breweries in each village, usually farms that brewed beer chiefly for their personnel who worked the fields.

And so it was that in 1875, Alexander Dingemans (1833 – 1887) began to product malt from barley on his own farm. Alexander was married to Juliana De Beuckelaer (1840 – 1901), famous for liqueur distillery F.X. De Beuckelaer, maker of “Elixir d’Anvers”.

Initially production amounted to a few hundred kilos per day. The farm labourers were very thirsty, however, and soon production was inadequate. Capacity was systematically increased.
