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!

Specialty Malt for Enhanced Malt Aroma and Full-Bodied Flavor

Weyermann® Melanoidin Malt is a specialty malt known for imparting rich, malty flavors and enhancing the body, color, and aroma of your beer. With its high melanoidin content, this malt is designed to intensify malt complexity, adding depth and a smooth mouthfeel to a wide range of beer styles. Weyermann® Melanoidin Malt is perfect for brewers looking to achieve a fuller, more robust malt character in their beers.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Weyermann® Melanoidin Malt provides an intense malty sweetness with rich, biscuity, and bready flavors, reminiscent of freshly baked bread crust. It enhances the beer's aroma and adds a warm, reddish-amber color, contributing to both the flavor complexity and visual appeal of your brew. The malt's high melanoidin content promotes a smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel, making it ideal for a variety of malt-forward styles.

Typical Usage

Melanoidin Malt is often used in European-style lagers, ales, and amber beers where a strong malt backbone is desired. It is typically used at 1-20% of the grain bill to intensify malt flavor, aroma, and body without overwhelming other ingredients. Weyermann® Melanoidin Malt is particularly suited for Märzens, Bocks, Dunkels, and other malt-forward beers where a rich malt profile is essential.

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.
