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.

• 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!
• Our full range of malts is also available for bespoke orders, 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 Black Malt is our darkest roasted malt for all grain brewing. Inky black in colour with a huge range of dark flavours, this is an ideal malt for home brewing traditional stout and porter. Our range of pre-weighed malts are specially batch prepared to provide great value for your home brew with the same high quality you can trust.

Black malt is the darkest roasted malt in our range and is recommended up to 10% of your grain bill. It is very highly kilned to develop inky black colour and intense flavours of black treacle, dry cocoa, coffee, and tobacco. Incredible in traditional stouts and porters, even small amounts can develop great flavour, especially when aging the finished beer for extended periods. The roasting process can make this grain brittle and powdery, so we recommend you also add some rice hulls or oat husks to your mash. Roasted malts are more astringent than other malts, so if this is coming through too much in your recipe, try adding to the end of the mash before sparging to get the full colour with lower astringency.

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.
