Pacific northwest premium two row malt by great Western malting

[Ironbike1]

Anyone use this before? The shop is buy at ran out of rahr and briess but had just gotten this in. I bought a 50lbs bag. Just wondering if anyone has heard of it before and if so is it good malt? I have never heard of it but they claim it's just as good as the others.
Thanks

Identical to briess in my experience. I can't tell the difference anyways.

Awesome. Thanks. I usually don't buy stuff without knowing about it first but that's all they had. He claimed that it was just as good but also it depends on the maltster

I love it, it's the only 2 row I use these days. I think it tastes even better than Briess and it's very clean, not filthy and full of twigs like Rahr

I've been very happy with the Great Western malts I've used.

I'll chime in as well, I will only buy GW base malts. I've tried Briess and didn't get the mash efficiency that I wanted. Currently I have the Premium Select Pale and the American Pale. I get better mash efficiency and it costs less than Briess.

Love the pale ale malt. Briess can't hold a candle. It also depends on the yeast. If you use a clean yeast that strips away all malt character, than going with Briess will be less of a difference.

This is great to hear. So I guess that guy there was not pulling a fast one on me haha
