"Foundation" Base Malt - 55 LB

Epiphany Craft Malt sets the standard for small scale craft malting using barley grown by farmers in North Carolina.

Quality base malts were indispensable in the development of some of the world’s great beers. Yet the marketplace often pushes scale over flavor—which in turn pushes many craft brewers to use more specialty malts to mask a lackluster base. Epiphany Malt isn't into that.

Foundation was developed to offer a different choice. Only grain sourced from seed growers is used, and each batch is allowed an extra day in germination for a cool and CO2 heavy rest resulting in a well modified, enzymatically functional base malt. Finishing out, they kiln it at higher-than-usual temperatures, 82 degrees Celsius, which eliminates grassy flavors and ensures a low DMS-p. The result is a well rounded flavor forward base malt that adds uniqued depth and color to any recipe.
