~Grains~

Malted grain is the basis for the malt extract syrup and dried malt extract that many of us use in the brewing process. The Grains that we offer at Old West have numerous uses from flavoring to colors, to acting as your base fermentable material.  The products below are divided into adjuncts or mashing grains. Adjuncts can be steeped in your boil pot and require no special equipment. Mashing grains require process steps to convert the starches in the grain to sugars. Special equipment is also required. 

Grain will be shipped whole (not crushed). If you would like to receive your grain crushed there will be an  additional charge of  .10 per pound. Charges will be added before we ship the grain. Flaked grains do not require crushing. 

    .10 cents per pound (will be added to final total)

 

 

  Using Crystal Malt

Crystal malts leave a sweet, caramel taste to your brews.  Use between .75 and 1.5 lbs per 5gal batch.  The higher the Lovibond rating or L number the more color the crystal will contribute to your beer.  To use, crack grains, steep in a grain bag at 155 deg for 30 minutes.  Remove grain from pot and proceed as per basic beer brewing instructions. Crystal can be added to most every batch you make.  Most of the recipes that you see will make use of this great tasting grain. We have Crystal from America, Germany, Belgium and the UK. Each has its own special flavor and we would suggest that you try several to learn the differences.

Adjunct or Mashing grains?

Adjunct vs. Mashing grains....Even the most simple extract brew can be improved with the use of adjunct or steeping grains.  To make use of the mashing grains below different equipment and advanced techniques must be employed to produce and extract the sugars from the grains. An all grain mash is an advanced brewing technique. All grain mashing will not require any malt extract in the batch.  

Grain will be shipped whole (not crushed). If you would like to receive your grain crushed there will be an  additional charge of  .10 per pound. Charges will be added before we ship the grain. Flaked grains do not require crushing. 

    .10 per pound (will be added to final total)
