{{Orphan|date=October 2018}}Craft malting, also called micro-malting,[1] is an agricultural practice of creating malting barley in relatively small quantities for craft beer.[2] One guide says that craft malt must include 50% locally sourced grain,{{sfn|Sprinkle|2016}} the figure endorsed by a trade industry group.[3]

In addition to beer, craft malt can be used for whiskey (peat malting), or as specialty grains for baking.[5] The craft malt may be heirloom varieties that are not commercially viable for large growers;[6] of tens of thousands of barley varieties, only 10 or so are produced in great quantity for beer.[5] Craft malting also appeals to local food culture in areas away from the main grain producing areas of the Midwestern United States.[8][9]

History

Craft malting may be traced to a 2004 operation in Reno, Nevada that supplied organic products to Nevada and Northern California breweries. Other early craft malting operations began in 2010 in New England; North Carolina in 2011; and Michigan and West Virginia prior to 2013.[10][11] In 2013 there were five craft malt operations.[6] There were 59 craft malthouses by early 2017.[13]

Washington State

The Pacific Northwest craft beer industry has created strong demand for craft malt. A supplier in Skagit Valley was one of the first in the nation, operating since 2014.[14] Washington State University operates the Mount Vernon Research Center which has developed new barley varieties suitable for the local climate and soil.{{sfn | Rizzo | 2016 | p=2016}} One cultivar called "Richard" has produced over {{convert|6400|kg/ha}}.[2]

According to one source, "Skagit Valley malts are naturally lower in protein than those from other North American growing regions".[16]

Farms in the Skagit Valley area have produced barley on a small scale since the 1890s or earlier, and some are in the fourth generation of ownership by the same family.[17]

The arrival of craft malt has been called "The most important development for Seattle craft brewing",[18] and "redefin[ing] ... what it means to be a truly local beer".[8]

A Skagit Valley craft malt company created the United States' first peat-smoked malt, to be used in whiskey made by the largest whiskey distillery west of the Mississippi, in Seattle.[20][21]

Organizations

Organizations supporting craft malting include Canadian Malting Barley Technical Center in Winnipeg,[13] the Craft Malting Guild (a trade association) and the Washington State University program mentioned above.
