Fantastic explanation. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@inyobill]

So my takeaway is you're particular to the quality of ingredients you put in your products. Cool.

[@HopKillerBrewery]

I mean, kind of? The steps they take in order to make locally grown malt in a traditional way is more of the point. Of course they should care about quality.

[@inyobill]

@@HopKillerBrewery Well, I would have assumed that quality would be the result? You should hear the arguments I have with my German neighbors here regarding the quality of beers being brewed in the U. S. now. Much like the revolution in wines a few years ago, where it was shown that the U. S. produces world class wines, brewers in America are making beers that easily hold up to the best beers brewed anywhere. It's difficult to find U. S. craft beers here, but I see them sometimes.

We are certainly particular about sourcing the best possible malting quality barley, wheat, rye and oats from family farms in California (and a tiny bit from Washington and Oregon). We think the floor malting process in conjunction with quality cereal grains makes some very tasty malt.
