Hi, im planning getting mlt from the local brewery but there organic and can only supple organic malt. Does this make any difference to the brew? I dont think it will but im best to check.

Cheers

It shouldn't make any difference, I've mixed and matched marris otter with an organic pale malt plenty of times and never noticed an differences.

My local micro detests organic malt with a passion. Apparently he suffers significantly decreased mash efficiency with it, and states it is "bloody expensive".

I'm not sure, he gave me his last half sack of Crystal Organic, but I've only used it in one brew, and it seemed ok to me, though I've bugger all experience to compare it to.

Mmmmm. Free grain!!! $\:D/$

That wouldn't be Halifax Steam Brewery by any chance? Nice beers.

If you are buying from a micro it will still be a lot cheaper than home-brew shops i would imagine
