Crisp Premium Peated Malt
$5.95Kg - $23.80/5Kg (SAVE 20%) - $89.25/25Kg (SAVE 40%) / $1900/MT (SAVE 65%)
Historically, Scottish Malthouses used peat as the fuel for kiln-drying malt, which added a phenolic flavour to the dried malt. Crisp continue this tradition in their modern malting plant in Scotland; where they control the introduction of peat smoke during the kilning phase. This gives Crisp Premium Peated Malt the distinctive flavour that characterises many of the west coast Scottish island whiskies.

In addition to Crisp Premium Peated Malt you might also like to try...

• Crisp Premium Distilling Malt

Crisp Flaked Torrefied Rice
$5.95/1Kg - $23.80/5Kg (SAVE 20%) - $89.25/25Kg (SAVE 40%) - $2,500/MT+GST
Darren James (DJ), Senior Brewer Bath Ales – United Kingdom
“We use flaked rice in our new English Lager Sulis with great results. Using it we are able to create a lager that is very light in colour, clean, crisp, medium bodied and slightly dry in finish. Crisp flaked rice helps bring out all these flavour profiles without imparting strong flavours or adding colour. The rice adds a smooth, clean body and mouthfeel with a dry finish too, making Sulis very easy drinking.”

Crisp Flaked Torrefied Rice consists of rice grains that have been cooked at high temperature, resulting in gelatinisation of the starchy endosperm, and then flaked.

Crisp Flaked Torrefied Rice lightens wort colour, reduces protein levels and imparts a characteristic dryness to finished beers.

Flaked Torrefied Rice does not require milling before being added to the mash.

Insist on Crisp Flaked Rice in your Light Lager or Brut IPA!

Milli - Vanilla Porter - BeerCo All-Grain Recipe Kit

No imitation essence or extract involved here, we are talking about a smooth robust full bodied English Style Porter pumped up to the Max with some of PNG finest Vanilla planifolia beans dry hopped into the secondary to add a sensational spiced vanilla song to up an already well rounded out beer. You can break out some of your favourite Milli Vanilli beats while you brew this one or hum your own tunes fireside as you warm up your brewing and social life with family and friends. Cheers!

Irish Dry Stout
I recently made an Irish Dry Stout to enjoy on the coming cold nights ahead. The recipe called for a base malt of Maris Otter Ale Malt. I chose the Crisp Maris Otter Ale Malt from BeerCo for my brew. I usually brew with pale malts for my dry stouts but the Crisp Maris Otter Ale Malt made a notable difference to my stout brewing. I get a wonderful bready grainy flavour with a hint of nuttiness. I'll be using this malt from now on.

Crisp Malting Maris Otter® is grown under contact by selected Norfolk farmers and is recognised worldwide as the benchmark barley for the best ale malt. In malting, as with brewing, the importance and the quality of raw materials cannot be underestimated.

Super start!
Brilliant strain from GigaYeast! I’d not gotten around to using this for a little while, and I pitched into a starter today, 4 1/2 months after is pack date. It has taken off like a rocket in under two hours.

GigaYeast NorCal Ale #1 GY001 is a clean fermenting, versatile strain from one of the most famous California Pale Ales. Neutral in flavor profile GY001 creates a crisp beer and allows hops to shine. Strong attenuator and good flocculation perfectly suited for a large variety of styles. Good choice for high gravity beers.

NEW! TILT Hydrometer and Thermometer Product Review with Stass
We have loved brewing and fermenting and measuring happy with the NEW! TILT Hydrometer but we thought we should pass one to our great mate Stass to see if the hype measures up to reality and here is what he has to say about the TILT

Split - Red IPA - BeerCo All-Grain Recipe Kit
A$59.95 - A$64.95
Good Red IPAs balance the hop-forward flavors and aromas of traditional IPA with the caramel, malty body of an amber ale. We like to think our Split | Red IPA is a solid compromise that lets you the brewer and beer drinker temper the resinous kick of a hop forward IPA with notes of something a bit softer, smoother and even slightly sweet.

Jay C. Verified Reviewer 5 star rating 07/03/19
Perfect for a hazy IPA
I used 30% naked oats in my hazy IPA with 70% maris otter, and the colour and haze were absolutely spot on. Not only did it look amazing when I first kegged the beer, but the haze remained all the way through for weeks and is still hazy as I write this about 3 weeks after kegging. They also add a subtle sweetness to the beer which works really well.
This will be my go to source of oats for all my hazy IPAs from now on!!!

Crisp Naked Oat Malt when mixed with barley malt can improve mouthfeel and introduce notes of a toasted, biscuity aroma and palate.

Accompanying their reimagined Old Melbourne Porter of yesteryear are a couple of very recent additions to the modern craft brewing. Firstly, a Bergamot infused XPA, hop forward with a light body and a delicious citrus twist, and secondly, a Catharina Sour (a Brazilian kettle-soured fruit beer) that is chock a block full of passionfruit and guava.

Sustain | You
Sustainability – we are constantly working to reduce our impact on the planet and bring your brewing and distilling supplies to you as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Since Day 0 at BeerCo.com.au Sustainability has been at the forefront of our thinking and is one of our 5 foundational core values. We know its a popular buzzword nowadays, however, around here it guides us each and every day in the decisions we make and how we work to get your precious brewing and distilling supplies to you as efficiently and effectively as possible.

One small example is waste packaging. Everything that comes into BeerCo.com.au warehouse is turned around and reused either as a shipper or as filler for our customers e-commerce orders.

We will ask for your forgiveness if we ship your order too slowly, because Speed and Service are two more of our 5 fundamental core values at BeerCo.com.au

Tanks again to all of our wonderful customers (old, present and new) and supply partners who dropped by to say Hi! to us at BrewCon19 3-6 Sep in Melbrewin' at Trade Booth #16.

After they had served their time maturing sweet fortified Tawny, they were sent down to the Tasmanian Cask Company where they were hand coopered into smaller barrels for a local whisky producer, along with receiving a shave and generous charr. In their 3rd life, they held and matured Tasmanian whisky from a producer that has won the highest awards locally and internationally for their whisky.

Crisp Extra Light Crystal gives a subtle caramel flavour Crystal 100

Crisp eXtra Light Crystal 100 Malt - NEW!
$5.95/1Kg - $89.25/25Kg (SAVE 40%)
Crystal and Cara Malts are so named for the caramelisation and crystallization of the sugars present in the barley kernel. Crisp take green malt from germination and apply heat while maintaining the moisture content so they are able to liquify the endosperm of the barley, transforming the starch into sugars. Heat is then applied and the caramelisation begins. In the case of Crystal Malts, when the endosperm cools, sugar crystals are formed. When you cut across the grain the glassy sheen of crystalized sugar can be seen. Each Crystal Malt imparts a clean, nutty, caramel-like sweetness to your beers.

Crisp Extra Light Crystal 100 Malt gives a subtle caramel flavour.

Crisp Extra Light Crystal gives a subtle caramel flavour Crystal 100

Crisp Cara Malt
$5.95/1Kg - $89.25/25Kg (SAVE 40%)
Crisp Cara Malt is a very low colour Crystal Malt which has an almost completely glassy endosperm. It contains a greater degree of sweetness than Crystal Malt and the harsher nutty roasted flavours are not present.

Crisp Cara Malt greatly improves body, foam retention and beer stability whilst adding little colour. It has therefore, become very popular in the production of lagers where it is used to assist in enhancing flavour and character. For this reason it has also become a common constituent in low alcohol beers.

Sweet Caramel, Malty flavour Crisp Cara Malt is good in all beer styles up to 15% for body, foam and mouthfeel.

Pack Sizes:

• 1 Kg Bag $5.95
• 5 Kg Bag $23.80 (SAVE 20% on 1Kg Price)
• 25 Kg Sack $89.25 (SAVE 20% on 1Kg Price)

Strata® US Hops - NEW!
$10.95/100g - $383.25/5Kg (SAVE 30% OFF 100g Price)
Strata®, was developed at Oregon State University and originally known as X331. Flavors will remind you of grapefruit & pine and help round out a clean bite of a classic West Coast style India Pale Ale.

All experimentation points to Strata® being very versatile dual-purpose hop variety. Bittering with Strata® brings a nice balanced bitterness. Flavor and aroma additions bring out the fruity side with tropical fruit and fresh berry brightness. Brewers say that dry hopping deepens the grapefruit and dank/herbal/cannabis elements. At this point, it has been used mostly in IPAs, Pale Ales, and Session IPAs, but could work well in everything from Saisons to Lagers.

Aroma:

• Passion Fruit, Grapefruit, Strawberry, Dank, Herbal, Cannabis

Analytical Data:

Crisp Vienna Malt
$18.95/5Kg - $75.95/25Kg (SAVE 20%)
In the 1840s English maltsters developed air kilning techniques that would pave the way for light coloured beers. German brewers took this technique back to Vienna and Munich respectively and the malt styles were born.

Crisp Vienna Malt is made from English 2-row spring barley and is kilned to a slightly higher temperature than the Crisp Best Ale Malt. The result is a golden hued wort with a sweet, bread like aroma and flavour. Since it is a conventionally kilned malt, Vienna can be used as a base and is perfect creating its namesake, Vienna lager, in addition to other styles.

The subtle malty flavours associated with Vienna Malt provide toffee and caramel notes.

Pack Sizes:

• 5 Kg Bag $18.95 (SAVE 20% on 1Kg Price)
• 25 Kg Sack $74.95 (SAVE 20% on 1Kg Price)
• Trade/Wholesale $!,850/MT ex GST or $1.85/Kg (SAVE 45% on 5Kg Price) in mixed minimum orders over 10 x 25Kg of Crisp and Malteurop and UniGrain. Send your trade/wholesale inquiries to us at [email protected]

NEW! Lallemand Brewing Voss Kveik Ale Yeast
$7.95 / 11g sachet
Kveik is a Norwegian word meaning yeast. In the Norwegian farmhouse tradition, kveik was preserved by drying and passed from generation to generation. Kveik is the original, traditional dried yeast! The LalBrew® Voss strain was obtained from Sigmund Gjernes (Voss, Norway), who has maintained this culture using traditional methods since the 1980s and generously shared it with the wider brewing community.

LalBrew® Voss supports a wide range of fermentation temperatures between 25-40°C (77-104°F) with a very high optimal range of 35-40°C (95-104°F). Very fast fermentations are achieved within the optimal temperature range with full attenuation typically achieved within 2-3 days. The flavor profile is consistent across the entire temperature range: neutral with subtle fruity notes of orange and citrus. Flocculation is very high producing clear beers without filtration or use of process aids.

Pack Sizes and Prices:

• 11g Sachet $7.95 inc GST - 500g coming soon...

Styles brewed with this bacteria include, but are not limited to,

• Norwegian Farmhouse, Pale Ale, IPA, NEIPA, Saison

Hey not sure if this is the best place to post but a shout out to Beerco for how quick the delivery was even with a flat rate ordered 19th and received 20th (and the free samples are much appreciated). Was really impressed with the pricing and range of product along with the easy website (price breaks clearly outlined). I try to share the love around a few homebrew shops. But I think you guys will be my go to for spec malt and potentially hops. I buy in 5kg (spec) and 500g (hop) lots so the price breaks are useful. Also impressed by the fact I didn't have any issues with my order. Have had one vendor send me a 25kg bag of the wrong product recently, and while these things happen and it was resolved quickly it's not the first time I've had an issue with an order from them.
