Brew Local with Malt from Mecca Grade Estate Malt

We're Excited to Introduce Local Malt from Mecca Grade Estate Malt!

We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality ingredients to help you craft amazing beer. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with Mecca Grade Estate Malt, a family-owned malt house located in Madras, Oregon, to bring you their exceptional, locally grown malt.

Mecca Grade is renowned for its dedication to quality and sustainability. As a single-estate operation, they grow, malt, and package everything on-site, ensuring traceability and the freshest product possible. Their malts are unique, flavorful, and perfect for homebrewers who want to elevate their creations.

We’re kicking off this partnership by carrying two incredible Mecca Grade varieties: Lamonta and Pelton. Here’s a closer look at what makes these malts so special:

Lamonta - The Perfect Base Malt

• Flavor Profile: Lamonta is a pale, kilned malt with a rich, slightly sweet flavor and subtle notes of honey and graham cracker. It provides a wonderful base for a variety of beer styles, from pale ales to lagers.

• Brewing Tips: With its high enzymatic power, Lamonta is versatile and pairs beautifully with specialty malts. Use it as the foundation for your next recipe and taste the difference locally grown malt can make.

Pelton - A Crisp Pilsner-Style Malt

• Flavor Profile: Pelton is a pilsner-style malt with a clean, delicate flavor. It’s light and crisp, with hints of fresh bread and a touch of sweetness.

• Brewing Tips: Ideal for lagers and pilsners, Pelton shines when you want the malt to play a starring role. Its subtle character also works well in lighter ales and experimental brews.
