Admiral It's the Chit! Malt - Ideal for Body & Head Retention

Admiral It's the Chit! Malt is a specialty chit malt designed to add body, mouthfeel, and improve head retention in your beer. Made from California-grown barley and crafted with traditional floor-malting techniques, this lightly kilned malt is high in protein, bringing a creamy, full-bodied texture to any brew. It's especially valuable in styles that benefit from enhanced mouthfeel, such as hazy IPAs, NEIPAs, stouts, and porters.

Perfect for Small Batches and Bulk Brewing

Offered in 1 oz quantities for homebrewers and 55 lb bags for larger-scale or frequent use, It's the Chit! Malt caters to every brewer's needs. Experiment with the one-ounce option in small batches, or stock up with a full bag for a cost-effective choice that allows you to consistently achieve the perfect mouthfeel in your beers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer grain milling services?

Yes, we provide grain milling services free of charge before shipping. To have your grain milled, please select the "Yes, please mill my grain" option on each grain product before adding it to your cart. We use a high-end, 3-roller mill from Spike, set to a standard gap of 4.5, which achieves optimal cracking while minimizing excessive flour. If you prefer a coarser or finer mill, leave a note in the shopping cart, and we’ll adjust it to your preference.

If we notice that most grains were selected for milling but a few were not, we will assume it was an oversight and mill all of them. If your intention is different, please clarify in the shopping cart notes section.

How do you ensure accuracy when weighing grains?

We take great care to ensure that you receive the correct grains in the exact quantities needed for your recipe. Our multi-step process ensures precision, starting with weighing each grain type individually to an accuracy of 0.08 ounces. After that, we perform a final check by weighing the combined total to confirm accuracy. Your total grain weight will always be slightly over the ordered amount, never under, and always within an acceptable range for even the most detail-oriented brewers (like ourselves).

How are grains packaged before shipment?

We provide a convenient recipe-building tool to streamline the process for you, our team, and the environment. We encourage you to use this tool to build your recipes, ensuring you get exactly what you’ve ordered in the correct quantities. By combining all the grains for a single recipe into one bag, we help speed up your brew day, reduce packaging waste, and save time during order fulfillment. Rest assured, we prioritize accuracy when measuring and packing your grains.
