At The Swaen we also offer toll malt. It is a term that may not be very well known, but can be very important for breweries and distilleries.
What is toll malt?
As a malt house, we are always looking for grain, such as barley and wheat. This is purchased in large quantities in France, for example, but of course also in the Netherlands. However, some brewers and distillers want to work even more locally. They grow their own grain or enter into cooperation with local farmers.
Customers deliver this grain to The Swaen and we process it. We call this process toll malting, with the end result being toll malt – your grain, malted by us. Of course, we ensure that no mixing takes place during this procedure. The delivered grain and the final malt remain separated from the other silos at all times.
Is toll malting interesting for me?
To be able to create toll malt, a minimum of 130 metric tons of grain must be supplied – the size of our germination streets. If this is too much, we can work together to find a solution. For example, we can try to find a similar quality grain type to supplement.
Several breweries and distilleries already use this possibility. Do you also want to have toll malt made from your own grain or do you want more information?
