Default Thoughts on maltsters?

Any opinion on these malsters? Or all about the same in quality?

I've used Fawcett Golden Promise and Maris Otter. Good stuff... not too sure what else to say about it. I have never knowingly used anything from any of the others mentioned, so I can't compare.

I've had great results with Simpson's Golden Promise, but have one complaint: too many sticks and stalks in the grain!

Doesn't impact the beer at all, but I like making spent-grain bread, and prefer it without the sticks!

Looks like someone has discovered north country

I have used these three

Thomas Fawcett & Sons: I have a sack of their maris otter and lager malt, I kind of just started to crack into them. I used the lager malt on a hefe that is drinking really quick
Hugh Baird & Sons I usually get their maris otter but they where sold out last time i ordered so i went with what i mentioned above
Malteries Franco-Belges I like the pale, pils, munich and the kilned amber i usually use these malts but sometimes i like to live a little and try other stuff


if only they carried Weyermann

Yes, ordered from them a year ago and they are a great company. The trick is trying to batch the order to manage shipping. I don't remember how I did it last time but when I put a cart together it said there was an issue with being over 150 pounds. I have to look into that.

I have used:

TF&S Maris Otter: I think it is a very good malt, easily as good or better than the Muntons that I had used exclusively in the past.
Canada Malting 2-row: again a very good malt, I have used this in all my American style beers and they have come out great
Best Malz Pils: I have only used this once, beer came out nice and light, it is fully modified so a single infusion is sufficient.

If you are looking for more, you could look-up some of the group buy threads since NC is where most people buy. The folks around here have done 4 group buys (one pallet each time) in the last year, I have not heard any specific complaints about any of those products.

I order from NCMG. I use Fawcett Marris Otter and like it. I've used Muntons in the same recipe and they were pretty close, but I think I like the Fawcett better. I also use BestMalz Pilsen Malt. I think it stands up to Weyermann. Plus with NCMG, you get the malt analyses.
