Since 1870 we’ve lived and breathed malting. With this passion and expertise, and by combining traditional and modern techniques, we create an impressive range of malted and non-malted products, including several unique and exclusive barley malts.
There is nothing more we love than talking to brewers and distillers so if you have any questions, or would like to arrange a call with a member of our team, please feel free to get in touch – we would love to hear from you!

So far so good, we searched for and found premium quality independent craft malt from Gladfield Malt in New Zealand bringing their wonderful malt first to Australian craft brewers in 2013 and then opening up access to homebrewers across Australia in 2014. In 2018 Our Search for Your Satisfaction led us to Crisp Malt – the UK’s Largest Independent Malting Company with a proud malting history of 150+ years. We now import, sell and distribute Crisp Malt to AU Craft Brewers and Distillers and Homebrewers across this great land. On-going requests for quality local malt and cereals lead us to Malteurop Australia and UniGrain Australia in 2019. You need more than high quality craft Malt and Cereals to brew amazing beer so we searched for and found you hops and plenty of quality craft hops! We supply premium quality US Hops, GR Hops, UK Hops, EU Hops, New Zealand Hops and the finest locally grown Australian Hops. Oh let us not forget Yeast – we were the first to bring GigaYeast to you from San Jose, CA and we stock a wide range of quality dried brewing yeast as well.

My go to base malt for bitter’s, IPA’s etc. Great colour and malt flavour to work from.

Product name: Crisp Finest Maris Otter® Ale Malt
Frankly I was not expecting to be able to taste the difference from Maris Otter and had vaguely assumed it’d been superseded just because it grew better. As it happens there’s a very big taste difference! I had the chance to brew identical but very basic beers with both MO and Chevalier and compare them. The only other thing on the grain bill was a bit of Vienna, and in both cases I used Fuggles as the only hop. Yeast was also the same in both cases. Chevalier tastes a lot earthier than MO, if that makes sense, instead of bread and biscuit. It’s a very large and obvious flavour. Blends very well with Fuggles, and no doubt would work with EKG etc as well. I don’t think it’d go well in a NEIPA as I suspect it would clash with the fruity flavours but might work well in a WCIPA where you want something to balance a lot of bittering – in fact that’s what I’ll try with it next. Well worth having a play with it if the extra cost isn’t an obstacle.
