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.
Roaster
Since 1906 The Swaen has been investing in the latest techniques and production methodologies. We now have one of the most advanced facilities in the industry to ensure consistently high quality malts, including a cutting-edge Probat drum roaster.
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.
