Delivering Barley to the Malt Plant
|
|
Not to long ago I posted a few pictures of our barley harvest. Now I thought I would share some pictures of us delivering barley to the malt plant. I asked the plant manager who buys their malt. He said a lot goes to New Belgium...have to load the frig with more Fat Tire.
Sucking the barley out of the bin.
The grain vac loading the truck.
Driving up to the malt plant.
The malt plant taking a sample.

Driving around to the unloading shed.
Unloading the truck. Sorry for not getting a better pic, they don't let you get out of the truck (got to protect the union  ).
Driving away for another load.
Can't wait for the next trip. The manager said he will get me a bucket of 2-row.

Forgot to mention that when I was unloading, they had a leak in one of the conveyors overhead. It was literally raining malt on the roof of my truck...heaven.

Take a 55 gallon drum with you and say, "I brought my bucket!" See what he says, Hell he might laugh and say "give me the damn barrel"! haha Worth a shot.

It was an ADM plant, but it just sold to a company called Malt Europe (I think). It is in Great Falls, MT |
