~Grains~
Malted grain is the basis for the malt extract syrup and dried malt
extract that many of us use in the brewing process. The Grains that we offer at Old West
have numerous uses from flavoring to colors, to acting as your base fermentable material.
The products below are divided into adjuncts or mashing grains. Adjuncts can be steeped in
your boil pot and require no special equipment. Mashing grains require process steps to
convert the starches in the grain to sugars. Special equipment is also required.

Grain will be shipped whole (not crushed). If you would
like to receive your grain crushed there will be an additional
charge of .10
per pound. Charges will be added before we ship the grain. Flaked grains
do not require crushing.

Adjunct or Mashing grains?
Adjunct vs. Mashing grains....Even the most simple extract brew
can be improved with the use of adjunct or steeping grains. To make use
of the mashing grains below different equipment and advanced techniques must
be employed to produce and extract the sugars from the grains. An all grain
mash is an advanced brewing technique. All grain mashing will
not require any malt extract in the batch.

Grain will be shipped whole (not crushed). If you would
like to receive your grain crushed there will be an additional
charge of .10
per pound. Charges will be added before we ship the grain. Flaked grains
do not require crushing.
