Skagit Malted Rye provides an opportunity for brewers to use locally-grown rye for flavoring and body addition. Rye adds both an earthy-malty flavor as well as a subtle signature spice. Since Rye is hulless, we recommend using it in conjunction with other malts or with rice hulls.
Malt Story
We’ve tried to create Malted Rye since we opened our doors. When Hedlin Farms approached us with Rye that would fit in our machines without clogging the screens, we were ecstatic! Rye is used in both distilling and brewing for it’s unique earthy-spicy flavor, which creates a lovely depth in beers.
