Our recommendation on the

Best Malt for Farmhouse + Mixed Culture Beers

These are the standard malts we recommend to use for brewing farmhouse and mixed culture beers.

Using one of our malts in a flagship product or existing recipe may result in richer, bolder flavors and is not always recommended. Please drop us a line if you have questions about the specific characteristics of our malts.

Vienna

This malt is produced from a proprietary blend of 2-row barleys. Richer and slightly darker than Southern Select with a breadier profile.
6-Row Pilsner

This malt is from a barley grain and has flavor notes of grass, grain and honey. Perfect for Farmhouse and Mixed Culture Saison styles.
Appalachian Wheat

This malt is produced using soft red wheat. The flavors are baked artisan bread and toast. Good for Hefeweizen and Farmhouse styles.
Golden Wheat

This malt has been a part of our custom program for several years and we decided to release it as our Fall seasonal for 2024. Top quality white wheat is germinated and kilned like our Vienna. We get big notes of breakfast cereal in the finished product. Think Golden Grahams swimming in a nutty, freshly made pie crust.
Hull and Oats

This malt, produced from oats contains high protein levels that give them a distinguished mouthfeel making them good for NEIPAs and Stouts.
