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.


Swaen Wheat Classic

The history of Wheat Beer

Most beer lovers know what wheat brings to beer: a creamy texture, a hint of tartness, and a smooth mouthfeel. Although barley now dominates the world of brewing, this was not always the case. The history of wheat beer is, in fact, the history of beer itself.

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.

Storage and shelf life

To maintain peak quality and flavour, proper storage is essential. Therefore, we recommend keeping our malt in a cool, dry, and pest-free environment with temperatures below 20°C (68°F). High humidity can negatively affect freshness, so it is important to store malt in a controlled setting. Depending on the type of malt, it is best used within 6 to 18 months from the manufacturing date. However, each bag includes a Best Before date to ensure optimal usage.

All our malts conform to EU and international regulations. Furthermore, we transport them exclusively via GMP-certified carriers to guarantee the highest standards in safety and hygiene. Please keep in mind that improperly stored malts may lose freshness and flavour more quickly.
