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.
Naked oats
Malted naked oats are becoming a popular adjunct grain for craft brewers seeking to enhance flavour and mouthfeel in their beers. Additionally, their lack of a hull boosts enzyme efficiency, releasing more fermentable starches. They impart a subtle, nutty flavour.
Roasted malt
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.
