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.
The history of Wheat Beer
Most beer lovers know what wheat brings to your beer: a somewhat creamy – sometimes even wee – taste with a subtle sour edge.
Caramel malts
Caramel malts – as the name implies – impart a strong caramel flavour to beer. This is the result of an extra stewing process.
