My father in law got ahold of a 50# bag of Colorado Malting Company “Base Pale.” He told me to let him know when I need more. He can either get it free, or on the cheap, can’t remember. What a score! I was just getting ready to buy more base malt.
I have read a couple threads about the stuff and people seem to be very impressed with it.
I am curious if any of you have used the stuff.
I have never heard of it so let us know how it is.
I used in once in our club’s Iron Brewer. We made a sort of pale ale with it and it was fine. Nice clear, yellow colored beer.
I got a hold of 10# of CO Malting Base malt earlier this year. Worked very well in a straight-up pale ale. I’d definitely use it again - and our club is working to get a few bags…
Cheers

Apparently you can order off the above linnk ;D
I have already been to the website, but it doesn’t give much info.
Just a follow up on this malt…
Its really good stuff. So far I’ve done three batches with it: Blonde ale, American Brown, and American Pale Ale.
Only the Blonde has been consumed and I’d say the quality is up there with rhar and others. At least I couldn’t detect noticeable differences.
I have noticed that with this malt, the hot break has formed better, producing a very clear wort. It could be just a coincidence though… :
It could be that my mash has been closer to the correct pH than in the past…
Give it a try if you get a chance! I like to support the smaller companies!!
It states on their website that their, “longtime growers of Coors barley” & Dry Dock is a customer so it must be good local stuff. I wonder if they’re outsourcing any of the malts to be kilned?
