Specialty Grains

Specialty Grains are how we control the color, body and flavor of our beer. If you are an extract brewer, put your crushed grains into a muslin bag (item C42) and throw them into the water as it heats up. It is important to remove the grains at about 170 deg.F (before boiling). If you are an all-grain brewer, these grains are added to the mash. Our website now allows you to order less than one pound, if that's what you need! You can By clicking on Options, you can choose either pounds or ounces for that grain. Remember, there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.
