What to look for when sourcing roasted malt

Product specification

Base malt for brewing and a roasted specialty malt for a stout need different specifications. Start with the beer style or end product and the role the malt plays.

Malt type & color

Specify the malt type, such as pale ale, pilsner, Munich, or roasted barley, and agree on color units, usually measured in EBC or Lovibond.

Physical & chemical limits

Agree on moisture, extract yield, protein content and kernel size. These affect brewhouse efficiency and fermentability.

Grist & packaging

State whether you need whole kernels or grist, and choose bag size and lining to protect against moisture.

Quality acceptance

Beyond lab analysis, you must ensure the malt behaves in your brewhouse and in the final beer. Agree on the sampling and evaluation method before shipment.

Lab analysis
Set limits for moisture, extract, protein, color, and other parameters in the specification sheet.
Performance test
Ask for a wort or miniature brew trial to see how the malt converts and filters, not just the certificate.
Acceptance & claims
Identify offer, pre-shipment and arrival samples. Retain the approved sample and agree inspection responsibilities and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Malt originates from barley grown in specific regions, but the maltster's process is the main quality lever. Define both the barley origin and the processing flexibility.

Barley origin

Request the barley origin and variety, since these influence flavor and yield. Some buyers prefer a specific region for consistency.

Malt production

Ask about the malting process, including steeping and kilning profiles, and the malt batch size.

Stock & availability

Check whether the malt is in stock, from the current season, or subject to future production.

Commercial terms

Roasted malt is often priced per tonne, but delivery and payment terms can change your true cost. Compare offers on the same basis.

Price & unit: Confirm the currency and whether the price is per tonne or per bag, and the quantity basis (e.g., delivered or ex-works).
Delivery terms: Align Incoterms, freight costs, and insurance, and specify the delivery window and port or warehouse.
Payment & order conditions: State payment terms, minimum order quantity, and any volume discounts. Clarify conditions for storage if you take delivery in advance.

Documentation & compliance

Check documentation to ensure the lot meets your contract and import rules. Documents should match your specific malt, not just the supplier.

Shipment documents: Align lot references, weights and entities across the invoice, packing list, transport document and any quality certificates.
Origin & plant health: For some destinations, confirm the required import permits, phytosanitary certificates, or proof of freedom from pests.
Volume & weight: Agree on the weighing method and what evidence you need, such as a weight certificate from an independent surveyor.

Supplier capability

A maltster may produce, test and ship your order, while a trader or broker may simply pass on a batch. Establish who is accountable for each step.

Processing & testing
Confirm the supplier operates the malt house or has direct control over the malt production and quality testing.
Consistency & supply
Ask how the supplier maintains consistent quality across batches and seasons, and whether they can replace a failing lot.
Logistics & flexibility
Check minimum shipment sizes, lead times, and whether they can deliver in bulk or bagged, and handle customs.
