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 chocolate and black malt?

Chocolate malt is roasted for less time and to a lower temperature, so it is smoother, with chocolate and coffee notes. Black malt is darker and sharper.

Which size should I buy?

1kg covers most 23 litre recipes. Choose 500g for a one-off or 2.5kg if you brew with it regularly.

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.
