Adventures in Homebrewing offers malted brewing grains from the following malt houses:

Crisp is also one of the few producers of such specialty malts as amber malt, brown malt, pale chocolate malt, and crystal malts 15°L, 45°L, and 77°L. Use these Crisp malts for your English pale ales, porters, and stouts.

- Gambrinus – Canadian maltster Gambrinus is famous for its honey malt, also known as “Brumalt”. As the name implies, honey malt can lend a pleasing sweetness to just about any beer. It worked great in my Flower Power IPA!
- Munton’s – Another highly regarded British maltster is Munton’s, who makes some one-of-a-kind malts like English lager malt and English mild ale malt. Their unmalted roasted barley contributes characteristics roasted flavor to porters and stouts.

We now carry 31 malts from Weyermann, from their Bohemian pilsner and pale wheat, to a chocolate rye malt and Carafa Type I, Type II and Type III.
