Does anyone know of a source where I can buy bags of Weyermann malt AND get lot analysis data?
I have been buying my malt from Crosby Baker through my LHBS. While I’m willing to pay the premium for this excellent German malt (I pay ~$60 for the 55 lb bag) I don’t understand why I cannot get the lot analysis data if I’m paying this price.
Granted a home brewer should not have to worry about detailed data like this but let me be the judge of this.
I have contacted Weyermann and Crosby Baker about this. Weyermann told me that I’m ordering too little to get the data from them. Something I understand as I don’t think they should be responsible to handle the inquires from all the home brewers who want data for their bags of malt. But Crosby Baker, as the importer should be able to get this data from Weyermann and give it to me on request.
If anyone else is interested in this data for their malt, just send an e-mail to Crosby Baker ([email protected]) and ask them if you can have malt analysis data. Maybe if enough brewers ask they’ll bother giving this data out.
