How to store malt
Malt can be kept several years and will not lose its enzymatic power. The Swaen has a special process to guarantee a long shelf life.
Quality
The Swaen values quality. That’s why we invest in extensive testing in our laboratory, and thoroughly clean our product.
Caramel malts
Caramel malts – as the name implies – impart a strong caramel flavour to beer. This is the result of an extra stewing process.
