Frequently Asked Questions
Is it crushed?

Yes, it comes crushed and ready to use, so you do not need a grain mill.

What is the difference between brown and amber malt?

Brown malt is darker, with stronger biscuit and toast and a light coffee note. Amber malt is lighter, giving dry biscuit flavour and a red-amber hue.

Which size should I buy?

2kg suits regular brewing. For a one-off batch the smaller bags are enough.

How should I store it?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from damp and pests. Crushed malt is best used fresh, so buy the size you will use reasonably soon.
