Base malts are the foundation of any and every good beer.
This is our current list of available base malts. As we bring in new grain and come up with new styles of base malts we will add to this list. We are always experimenting and exploring new flavors in base malts! If you are a home brewer and want to use our local craft malt, please visit Great Fermentations or our Home brew shop
