Canada Malting Co. 2 row

Post by Beer-lord »

Whenever I buy my sacks of 2 row, I'll try to get Rahr first. If that's not available, then Great Western as I'm not a Briess grain fan. Today, my LHBS only had Briess and Canada Malting. I've read that if you buy kits, most use this malt. I'm game to try but if I don't like it, there's 55 pounds of it. I think Great Western may be related to Canada Malting but I'm not 100% sure.

Anyone use this and have an opinion.........even though its too late now?

I know nothing, but if you go to Canada Malting's website and Great Western's website you can see it's the same company.

Besides the same design, bottom right corner of each says 2009 GrainCorp Malt. Click on it and you find:

Our Company
GrainCorp Malt is an international, performance-driven malt supplier. It operates in the United States as Great Western Malting Co. in Canada as Canada Malting Co. Limited in Australia as Barrett Burston Malting in the United Kingdom as Bairds Malt Limited and in Germany as Schill Malz.
