new book: Malt: A Practical Guide from Field to Brewhouse by John Mallett

I just saw this book on Amazon.
Could be interesting.

Anyone know anything about it?

Nothing. But I pre-ordered it.

4th in the brewing elements series from the Brewers Association. Given the track record with the last three, it is more than likely worth picking up.

Awesome I finished their yeast book, reading their hop book and have their water book on deck. I just said to my wife yesterday that they need a malt book.

Links to this book?
Thanks, Ben

Wow not available until September. That's an early pre order. If you are an aha member I think they've usually done a discount pre order on these books when they come out.

You do, sadly once shipping factors in (prime member so free for me from Amazon) I end up ahead just pre-ordering from Amazon.

just got a note from Brewers Publications about the malt book: "AHA Members-Only Pre-Sale Starts Dec. 1"

Amazon says the release date is Dec 30. overstock and bookdepository say Dec 7.

looks like there were a few delays in getting this book out...

Gonna get my aha order in. The other ones have been great books.

I have and have read the craft maltsters handbook. Very little good info. Briggs Malt and Malting has much more info. I was hoping that the craft aspect would have been represented. It wasn't at all. That is, I was hoping it would have said something about how a craft producer could produce something both of the best quality and yet different, and the book really lacked there. Some basic info on malting systems but that's it. Basically an expanded wiki on malting. Look for Briggs if you want in depth info. Hopefully there is indeed a craft aspect to be explored.

Grew a bunch of 2-row last year and it has been sitting around for malting. Pulled it out last night and there's tons of rat turds in it. Should have done a better job of storing for sure. Quite a lot of work harvesting, threshing and winnowing. Oh well, I put it out for the quail this morning.

Any readers of the thread's subject book yet? I'm quite curious....

The malt book FINALLY arrived at my house today after ordering back in the summer. Haven't cracked it open just yet.

If you have not yet stepped up to buying in bulk, grinding your grain and formulating your own recipes. Another skill is yeast farming that saves money and gives insight into improved pitch rates.

Mine came today too! New and shiny
