Briess Brewers Malt (2-Row Base Malt)
We sell our grain in one-ounce increments and by the bulk bag, allowing you to buy exactly what you need for your recipes. We accurately weigh out your selected grain and offer two convenient bagging options. To get the best pricing, we encourage you to use our Grain Bill selection radial buttons (Recipe #1, 2, or 3)—this lets us combine your selected grains into a single bag, reducing labor and packaging costs, with savings passed on to you. If you prefer each grain variety bagged separately, we’re happy to accommodate, though an additional fee applies due to the extra handling required. We also offer free milling upon request!

Light, Versatile, and Dependably American
Briess Brewers Malt is a premium American 2-Row base malt known for its exceptionally light color, high extract potential, and smooth, clean flavor. Sourced from North American 2-row barley and produced by one of the most trusted names in malt, this malt serves as the perfect foundation for a wide range of beer styles.
Whether you're brewing a Pale Ale, IPA, Blonde, or even a Stout, this malt provides the enzymatic backbone and fermentable sugars needed for a clean and efficient fermentation.
