Powells Malt?

[Doc]

I took delivery of 50 kg of Powells yesterday (25kg Wheat, 25kg Pils) and I'm expecting no reduction in quality of my brews.

altstart, from memory it was around the $30 for a bag.. I think... was a while ago now.

Be nice to get it over here in the west, can't beat $30 a bag

 

[Batz]

Most the malts where around $20 , ale was $19.75,Pils $19.62,Wheat $20.75 and Vienna $20.24
Freight was on top of that , I had to order a pallet , 25 bags.

I am keen to do another after xmas , unless one of you guys want to do this one?
Freight would be less to Brissy

Vermont Fuel and Produce are still selling it last I checked. $30 bag or $1.50 by the kg.

You should call first because they basically buy a mixed pallet and you never know what they have left.

Just digging this old thread up.

Does anybody know if Powells is still around? Their website doesn't work anymore.

I found the malt to be excellent quality, with the only slight problem being a small fall in efficiency. But in these current times where dealing with Cryer etc directly appears to have been blocked, it'd be great to have a couple of other options on the table...

Anybody got any news on whether Powells is still operating?

yum organic malts would be nice

 

[T.D.]

Yeah, looks the goods huh. Great price too! I wonder what its like? I was told that Gulf Brewery uses this malt in all of their beers. Must be pretty decent you'd have to think!

Braeside ay? It would be nice to be able to pick up a sack or two on the way home from work.

Anyone had any luck visiting them and buying a couple of sacks direct?

Anybody who knows there way around chemical analysis, do the specs look ok? http://www.glenbarmalting.com.au/analysis.pdf

 

[geoffi]

A year or two back someone did a serious comparison of Powell's malt against the major competitors. (I submitted some Maris Otter for analysis.)

As I recall, the upshot was that it is less well modified than other malts, but will produce excellent results. To compensate for the lower efficiency, you either use a bit more (and it's so cheap, why not), or do a step or decoction mash.

Anyway, I haven't used it myself, but would be keen to give it a go sometime.

They used to deliver bag quantities for free I thought?

Anyone with some more current info, confirming or denying?
