Whiskey/Distilling Malt

We source all of our whiskey and distilling malt from our trusted suppliers like Muntons, and only supply the highest quality malt.

The main aims of distilling or whiskey malt are to ensure full extraction can occur (ie. the most starches can be extracted to undergo conversion into sugars) and also, to provide high fermentability. Unlike beer brewing which counts on flavour, colour, aroma, as well as some enzymatic conversion of the malt, distilling requires an extremely efficient conversion to give as much fermentable sugar as possible.

At Get Er Brewed, we can supply peated malt too, from Muntons, which is smoked in a state-of-the-art peating production facility in Yorkshire. The peating plant is supplied with fresh green pot still malt from our maltings in Bridlington. The Malt is then kilned while being infused with peat smoke—ideal for making peaty whiskeys.
