Indiana craft maltster

I just bottled a batch of all Indiana grown ingredients from Sugar Creek Malting, Crazy Horse hops, and local wildflower honey. It turned out great.

I’ve heard only good things about Sugar Creek’s products.

My next three beers will have Sugar Creek malts in them. I am looking forward to them.

I used 5 lbs oh Rauchmalz in a 10 gallon batch. Way to strong and harsh for me, also ashy when the beer was young. I had gotten behind on smoking my own and wanted to try Sugar Creeks.

I want to try their malted corn as people have liked it.

After trying a beer made with the malted corn, I would advise you not to think of it as a replacement for flaked maize. It has a distinct flavor. A cream ale Drew made with it was nothing like a cream ale. You need to think of it as it’s own, unique flavor.

I’ve read that. Might look around the web and see what people think.

hard to describe unless I had a beer made with it here as I tried.  But not nearly as neutral as flaked maize.  Kinda strong and nutty. Didn’t really have any corn flavor IIRC.

Sugar Creek offers at least 3 types of Corn Malts.  They don’t do a great job of explaining the difference in taste between these varieties.

I used their Bloody Butcher malt in a Märzen not too long ago. The raw malt tastes closest to Vienna malt to me. In the beer with other kilned malts it just kinda blends in. There is none of the “sweet corn” flavor I get from flaked corn. There is maybe a hint of a cornmeal flavor, but that could also me just finding what I’m looking for. It’s not bad, but I didn’t think it added much, either. I’ll probably try it again over the summer in something like an APA or Blond Ale where would probably show through more on the malt side.

I used the bloody butcher malted corn in a Pre-Pro Pils and two Saisons.  My take on the flavor contribution is that I wouldn’t know it’s corn- for me it give some sweetness and perhaps a bit of earthiness to the beer.  I really like it in the Saisons I’ve made with it.

Same here. I’ve been using a lot of their Ye Olde Pale Ale malt recently and it has a great flavor that I really enjoy in English style ales.
