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 Body and Head Retention

Rahr Dextrin Malt is a specialty malt designed to enhance the body, mouthfeel, and head retention of your beer without adding significant color or sweetness. This malt is a perfect addition for brewers looking to improve the texture and stability of their beers, especially in lighter beer styles where maintaining a full mouthfeel and foamy head can be challenging. Rahr Dextrin Malt is versatile and can be used in many beer styles, providing a subtle but important contribution to your brew.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

While Rahr Dextrin Malt has a very mild flavor profile, it contributes significantly to the body and texture of the beer. It imparts a smooth, slightly creamy mouthfeel without affecting the beer’s overall flavor or aroma. This malt is designed to add dextrins, which help create a fuller body and improve foam stability.

Typical Usage

Rahr Dextrin Malt is ideal for use in a variety of beer styles, from light lagers and pale ales to stouts and porters. It can be used in small amounts, typically 5-10% of the grain bill, to boost mouthfeel and head retention. Because it doesn’t add color or flavor, it is especially useful in lighter beer styles where body enhancement is desired without altering the overall character of the beer.

Brewing Tips

  • Beer Styles: Ideal for light lagers, pale ales, IPAs, stouts, porters, and any style requiring improved body and head retention.
  • Lovibond: 1.5-2L
  • Flavor Profile: Minimal flavor impact, contributing mainly to body and texture.
  • Usage: Typically used at 5-10% of the grain bill to improve body and foam stability.

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.
