Our homebrew club is working on a bulk grain purchase through one of the malting groups and a LHBS. I got the prices on the malt–and the Canadian malts are considerably less, say 15 cents plus per pound, than the comparable malts from others, like Briess. I don’t want to switch from MO and German Pilsner for certain beers, but the prices sure are tempting. I mean, the grain has to go through stringent QC, just like the others. So it has to be good, right?
What malt is it? For a domestic malt, I prefer Canada Malting Company to Briess.
I’m talking about the Canada Malting pale ale, wheat, and Munich. The prices look great, and if the quality is there…
I think CMC malts would be a good sub for any American malt.
I use gambrinus organic malts and they are great. no problems with them at all.
That’s what I’m thinking.
So much THIS^^^^^
Would you know how well the Gambrinus ESB malt compares to something like Maris Otter?. Looking to switch all my base malts to organic, if not 100% for all hops and malts.
haven’t tried that one. you can get organic MO though. it’s pricy. Check out breworganic.com
