Grain and Adjuncts

 

HopTech stocks what we feel is the best selection of malts and grains. They are available by the pound (1 lb minimum and 1 lb increments please) and some in 50/55 lb sacks. While we recommend you buy all your malts uncrushed and crush them fresh yourself, but we will be glad to crush them for you at no extra charge (make sure you tell us when you order). The exception is the 50/55 lb sacks which are only available uncrushed.

Franco-Belges: 

Malteries Franco-Belges (MFB) is a division of the Soufflet Group, one of France’s leading grain companies. Their combined output of over one billion pounds of malt annually makes them the largest maltster in France, ensuring brewers a consistently fresh supply of malt.

MFB oversees the entire malting process from the selection of seed to the delivery of malt to their brewery customers and wholesalers. Specific barley types are identified for each finished malt type early on and are carefully treated to preserve the character of the breed throughout the malting process.

All of MFB’s base malts are made from highly modified premium two-row French spring or winter barley and wheat. Caramelized and roasted malts are made from six-row barley or wheat carefully selected from the growing fields of France to ensure maximum aroma and taste.
