Thanks for getting in contact with us.
We do have plans to put out some recipes of a few of our favourite beers from commercial brewers using our malts for the homebrewing community, be on the look-out for that in the near future.
My advice is don’t over complicate it. A lot of our malts are designed to be used entirely on their own, and many commercial beers have received plenty of awards and accolades used in this way.
Schooner Pale and also Veloria will stand up on their own in APA’s and even IPA’s. Probably a little biased but I believe one of countries best West Coast style IPA exclusively uses Schooner Pale as the only malt in its grist.
At the other end of the spectrum, Voodoo is also used at 100% in some pretty amazing American Darker style Amber Ales.
2 of the best beers I’ve had with our malts have been a Vienna Lager (brewed with 100% vienna malt) and also a Helles (82% Atlas, 9% Winter Wheat and 9% Munich)-Mash at 67C, Aim for 4.8-%ABV with a FG of 1.011. IBU 20-24. S189 at 12C for the first week, then ramp to 16 for a few days.
Hope this helps."

Cool, Will be trying out that Helles recipe for sure. Thanks for sharing.
 
The guys at Voyager are quite good, and I agree, don't over complicate the malt bill. most of the stuff I have done is generally 2 malts with the occasional 3 or single.
 
Anyone want to put their hand up for a bulk buy of Voyager malt?
I'd love a few more sacks
Actually thinking about doing a single malt whisky with Veloria
I'm about to smoke some veloria with apple wood for a rauchbier and I'll do some extra for making whisky, I'm thinking 40% of the grist should be a good starting point
 
Anyone want to put their hand up for a bulk buy of Voyager malt?

I would be interested in buying some from a bulk buy but not keen to run a bulk buy

Probably a bag of each base malt and maybe some splits of any spec malt (5kg) Don't really need any as I have about 100kg of Base malt still but a sucker for a deal ;) and keen to try it/support a local business
 
Cool, Will be trying out that Helles recipe for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Im thinking the helles myself next brew, which will likely be this week.
Would like to try and keep the recipe Australian, so thinking Vic Secret, /but unsure of aussie yeast to use, any suggestions?
 
I love the malts from Voyager and pretty much use them exclusively (save for some spec malts from Gladfield and Weyerman)

Vienna Lager / Farmhouse Red
55% Atlas
45% Vienna

(+ a pinch of carafa special III and some acid malt)

18 IBU Magnum FWH

WP:
1g/L hersbrucker flowers from Ryefield
2g/L saaz flowers from Ryefield

OG: 1.046. 20 IBU. FTW

4 cubes: 1 Farmhouse, 2 lager yeast, 1 kolsch
 
Oh and this Mexcan lager that was 80% atlas, 17% flaked corn and 3% vienna with 12 IBU of Saaz at FWH. Fermented with the White Labs Mexican lager yeast.

No finnings either - 6 weeks at 0C in the keg. Low BG levels in atlas lead to super clear beers (at least that's the way I understand it).

WEAL, 2 bags of Voyager for me too. Can help with pickup/distribution if needed.

...........

Who are the IBU's?, any chance you can post a link to that thread (if its allowed)
 
I went to Keg King today to pick up the Voyager malt.
Whilst there I had a sample of one of their pale ales made primarily with Voyagers Veloria malt.
Citrus and Cascade hops were used, and US05 yeast.
The beer had been in the keg for 2 weeks, and it was frigging lovely.
I'm tempted to make this recipe first.
If I were you guys, get in and sample it before its all gone.
(theres also a lovely HefeWeizen Bock, not much of it left :( )
