Flakes
Improve recepies – Unmalted cereals
Some intensify a certain characteristic and add a unique aroma, while others affect the colour or boost the volume of fermentable sugars – cereals have a lot to offer. Flaked grains are not malted at all. This means they don’t break down their starch, so they are only used to add that little extra to your beer.

Flaked Wheat

By-products
The Swaen also has something for the farmer – and other industries. These by-products are a result of the malting process and can be used for animal feed and to create biogas, for example. Subject to availability.
![Malt germ pellets](https://theswaen.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/byproducts-maltgermpellets-1024x1024.jpg)
Malting pellets
When germinating, the kernels start to grow rootlets. These have no value for the brewing process and are therefore removed. They are however ideal to use as an animal feed supplement. The culms are pressed together with malt dust, crushed malt and malt chaff to create malting pellets.

Screenings
Tiny kernels (smaller than Ø2mm) are unsuitable for brewing and distilling. That’s why they are singled out from the malting process. But they can still be used as animal feed. They will exhibit slightly more protein than the kernels that become malting barley. Available in barley and wheat.

Malt dust
We combine residual material like chaff, husk and rootlets – that are found in our germination avenue, roaster and bagging line – to create malt dust. This product is perfect to create biogas at a special plant. So, what some consider as waste, we use to ensure a more sustainable future.
