How to use

  1. Crush the malt, or buy it crushed.
  2. Mash it alone for a single malt, or with Mild Peat Smoked Malt or Manuka Smoked Malt for a smoky blended whisky.
  3. Hold the mash so the malt's enzymes convert the starch to sugar.
  4. Cool, ferment with a whisky yeast and distil.
FAQ

Can I use 100% distillers malt?

Yes. The usage rate is up to 100%.

How do I make a peaty, Scotch-style whisky?

Combine distillers malt with peat smoked or manuka smoked malt.

Does it have enough enzymes to convert other grains?

It is gently kilned to keep its enzyme content, giving good diastatic power for distilling mashes.
