Description
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.

Which crush size should I choose?
Our standard crush level delivers best results in all brewing situations. Our fine crush gives increased efficiency at higher liquor to grain ratios such as in Brew In A Bag (BIAB) and no-sparge brewing.

BEST Pilsner Malt gives beer a fresh and rounded taste. It is used for all types of beers based on basically barley malt. It forms an excellent “light” and enzyme-rich foundation for almost all beer styles.
Malt characteristics: low protein levels, high extract content, light colour and high enzymatic activity
For many years, the traditional and family-owned malting group Palatia Malz with its BESTMALZ brand has relied on artisanal “slow” malting combined with state-of-the-art technology. The company has implemented advanced food technology and electronically supported processes that constantly control production, quality and logistics. The malt and grain specialties are sold to a wide range of customers in Germany and abroad, both directly and through certified distributors.
In the immediate vicinity of our malting sites in Wallertheim (Alzey district) and Kreimbach-Kaulbach (Kusel district), farmers grow BEST malting barley for BESTMALZ. A close partnership has existed with some family farms for generations. As a matter of principle, partnerships are only entered into with farmers who can demonstrate experience in growing malting barley. The advantages of barley fields in the immediate vicinity are quite obvious:
- the possibility of testing the barley in the field throughout the year
- low CO2 emissions due to short delivery routes
- fresh goods coming directly from the field to the malting plant during harvest time
Palatia Malz works with farmers in various industry committees.

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.
