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.
Recipe – Altbier
Altbier is a top-fermented, amber, lagered beer, that is traditionally brewed in the historical region of Westphalia.
Caramel malts
Caramel malts – as the name implies – impart a strong caramel flavour to beer. This is the result of an extra stewing process.
