New Malt Supplier in Northern Tasmania

Postby TasSpirits » Mon Aug 15, 2016 8:10 pm

I have just arranged to pick up some Malt from Not For Horses in Launceston, their prices are good. I will be using it as a base malt for a Peated Single Malt, I will post results once it is getting a bit of age

Let us know how it goes
We were doing a bulk buy from him over on AHB, but then he had a few set backs and had to cancel it until the malthouse was completed

Picked up 2 bags the other night, mashed 12kg today. Similar yield to what I have got with a pale malt after mashing 2 batches ended up with 45L@ 1.065 which is now going crazy with a TBSP and a half of Malt Whisky Yeast, I have decided to mash all 40kg and do a spirit run of about 20L to see what its like on its own and use the rest with peated malt. 75c a kg cheaper than what I have been using as a base means a considerable saving, plus I can support a local :handgestures-thumbupleft:

How did it all go? I am interested as I am in the northern end but west. Would like to do Bourbon style mash sometime in the future with a grain mash. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I wont know for sure for a few more months, my initial tastings are not great so far, the grain is not as clean as other brands, makes good Beer but not so good Whisky IMHO

What mix are you doing ? Are you using both their barley and wheat? or just a straight malt style?
