How to store malt
Malt retains its enzymatic power for several years when stored correctly. The Swaen ensures a long shelf life through a specialised process. As a result, brewers can always rely on the consistent quality of our products. This is your guide on how to store malt.
The history of Wheat Beer
Most beer lovers know what wheat brings to beer: a creamy texture, a hint of tartness, and a smooth mouthfeel. Although barley now dominates the world of brewing, this was not always the case. The history of wheat beer is, in fact, the history of beer itself.
Roasted malt
It remains unclear when rotating drum roasting became popular among specialty maltsters. However, today it is the most widely used and safest method for producing caramelised and roasted malt and cereals. It revolutionised malt production.
