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!

Sweet and Rich Specialty Malt for Unique Flavor Profiles

Gambrinus Honey Malt is a distinctive specialty malt renowned for its rich, honey-like sweetness and smooth, full-bodied character. Produced by the Gambrinus Malting Corporation in Canada, this malt offers an exceptional flavor profile that sets it apart from other specialty grains. Honey Malt is perfect for brewers looking to add a layer of sweetness and complexity to their beers, making it ideal for a wide range of beer styles that benefit from enhanced malt character.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

As the name suggests, Gambrinus Honey Malt imparts a pronounced honey-like sweetness with hints of caramel and toffee. The malt’s unique kilning process enhances its complex flavors, resulting in a smooth, sweet malt with a soft, pleasant aroma. Honey Malt also contributes a rich, golden to amber color to the beer, adding both visual appeal and depth of flavor. Its sweetness is intense yet balanced, making it an excellent choice for creating beers with a fuller mouthfeel and richer body.

Typical Usage

Gambrinus Honey Malt is most often used in small quantities (up to 20% of the total grain bill) due to its strong flavor impact. It is commonly added to enhance the malt character in a variety of beer styles, including amber ales, lagers, pale ales, porters, and specialty beers. Brewers who want to achieve a pronounced malt sweetness without overwhelming other flavors will find Honey Malt to be the perfect addition.

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.
