Immerse yourself in the distinct character of Admiral Maltings' Yolo Gold, a premium wheat malt derived from the hard white Patwin wheat grown in California's renowned Sacramento Valley. This malt embodies the golden essence of the region, offering a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel with notes of hay, mineral, and freshly rising dough. Its delicate kilning process enhances the raw wheat's natural qualities while introducing subtle malt flavors akin to those found in traditional pilsners.

Yolo Gold is versatile enough for a significant role in wheat beer formulations, suitable for up to 50% of the grain bill in styles like Hefeweizen and Witbier. It can also add body and subtle complexity to lighter beers and hazy IPAs. Beyond its brewing capabilities, Yolo Gold stands as a testament to sustainable agriculture, sourced exclusively from family farms in California that prioritize eco-friendly practices.

This malt not only enriches the flavor profile of your beers but also supports the sustainability of brewing ingredients, reflecting Admiral Maltings' commitment to quality and environmental responsibility. With Yolo Gold, elevate your brewing projects with a malt that captures the essence of California’s agricultural heritage and commitment to craft.

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.
