Top quality malt for home brewing from The Malt Miller

Great home brew begins with great quality ingredients, prepared with care. We’re proud to offer a full range of malts prepared to meet all your needs. All our malt is milled in house for maximum freshness, and crushed directly into our bags so you get one hundred percent of the grain.

• Order from our full range of malts with your choice of maltster and crush size (including uncrushed) from as little as 50g and in 50g increments. We mill and package your malts individually so you can be sure of ultimate freshness and quality.
• You can also order malt through our Recipe Generator to get exact weights crushed to order, combined into single bags for extra convenience (uncrushed malts are bagged individually to help you mill at home).
• Our pre-weighed malts are a great value option for the malts you use every time. Covering a core range of malts that every home brewer needs, we mill batches of each malt in the range ahead of time and pass the saving on to you. We produce small quantities at regular intervals to keep our stock fresh and ready for you to use!

We’re obsessed with milling malt! The sweet spot of milling is different for each individual type of malt and even different harvests. We continuously calibrate and adjust our mills to dial in the perfect proportion of kernel, flour, and husk for every malt in every bag we prepare.

Thomas Fawcett & Sons Ltd is a seventh generation family business that has been manufacturing quality malts for over 200 years on its original site in Castleford, West Yorkshire.

The Company’s production facilities span its history from four working floor maltings to the most up to date Germinating & Kilning Vessels (GKV). Coloured malts of all hues and flavours are produced from its bespoke roasting plants. Batch sizes remain small to ensure consistent quality throughout an extensive product range. The Company manufactures over 30 different malts on site and can supply small quantities of other key brewing adjuncts, Peated Malt, Smoked Malt, Torrefied Wheat, Flaked Maize and Flaked Barley.

The finest barleys make the finest malts and the Company strives to procure the best barley samples from each Season to maintain standards. Ale Malts are largely made from the iconic barley varieties, Maris Otter and Golden Promise though not exclusively. Proven winter varieties such as Halcyon and Pearl are still available and the current main spring variety is Propino. The Company malts Wheat, Rye & Oats to offer the full range of vital ingredients from which brewers can devise interesting, innovative and delicious beers.

Though intensely proud of its traditional methods of production the Company has consistently invested in new technology and has recently added a new vessel to its GKV maltings and increased germination capacity in its Crystal malt plant. Investments designed to keep pace with the ever increasing domestic and global demand from discerning Brewers. The Company offers the complete range of packaging and delivery options. Malt is supplied in 25 kg sacks (whole or pre-milled) shrink wrapped on pallets or in larger tote bags from 350 kg to 1000 kg and in bulk loads up to 25 tonne. The Company provides a dedicated delivery service via its own transport fleet inclusive of drivers who are willing to help off load.

We exist to support and help Brewers of all traditions and sizes – our customers range from Heineken and AB InBev to the latest start-ups.

Malt is the backbone to any great beer recipe, ensuring you have the best quality freshest malt can really improve your brews.

Our malt comes from the same maltsers that professional breweries use. All of our malt is purchased whole/uncrushed, which ensures that it retains the correct moisture levels as the maltster intended.

When you order malt from The Malt Miller we offer it crush fresh, or whole so you can crush it fresh at home using your own mill, or fine crushed for Brew In A Bag brewing. When we crush it for you it is done only when ordered, this ensures you can be sure of freshness and also receive the correct mix of big and small particles.

Your can order malt in 25kg sacks where we also offer the option to have it bagged in 5x5kg, by weight starting at 50g, or by building your own recipe on our Recipe Generator by the exact gram.
