Id like to update my beersmith to include as many grains and maltsters as possible, has anyone come by a list of maltsters available in the USA by chance? Or know of a list already compiled with the pertinent info for each grain?
Cheers,
Jeff
This by grain type, not maltster.
http://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Malts_Chart
Northern brewer has information for the malts they carry, but it is not in a spreadsheet. Some have more information than others.
Example. Open the additional information form more specifications.
So Ive started with Briess and there website has a fair bit of info on it. So much so that im not sure what all of it means!
Example
If you look at that PDF under they typical analysis what do the following columns entail
Plump(does this confer to kernal size?)
Thru(is this a % that will go threw the mill because its to small?)
Extract FG, Dry Basis (obviously sugar yield, but how would i convert that to Gravity?)
Extract CG, Dry Basis(Converted gravity? See FG notes)
S/T(???)
Jeff
Plump is kernel size.
Thru ? I think it might be what goes through a standard screen sieve.
FG = Fine Grind
CG = Course Grind
S/T = gives an indication of modification, that is fully modified. Soluble nitrogen/total nitrogen.
Remembered this, it might help.

Awesome! Thanks Jeff!
Beersmith has some addons for the desktop version that include different maltsters. I know Briess is in there.
Seems this may be a fools errand, not all maltsters post their typical analysis in an easy to find place with all the pertinent information.
This is true. You might ask them for a typical analysis for the various malts.
Brewers supply group has a limited amount of info for the malts they carry.

Country Malt group also has limited info.

I used to get a lot analysis with my grain at Country Malt. That was back before they “lost” my info so I lost my grandfathered direct buyer’s status. I don’t mind paying LHBS prices for grain, but their Illinois warehouse is closer to me than any retail shop.

Not sure how detailed you wish to be. This is Colorado’s maltster:
