Le brassage tout grains ⇒ Finding Grain in France

[USBREWER]

Hello, I am a new member of the forum and recently moved to France from the US. I am trying to find a source for malt in France, can anyone suggest a website or store? I recently bought some from Brouwland, is this the best place? Shipping prices seemed expensive.

Hi USBREWER welcome to the forum,

I'm from Canada but when i hear people talk about grain, in 90% of cases it comes from Brouwland.
Lets wait for others to respond, they will give more valuable answers.

Hi,

There's different websites where you can get malts, hops, and other things you need, it mostly depends on the quantity you need.

Brouwland is one of the most used seller. A lot of choice, and the quality is not bad.

Another one I use quite often is the Malt Miller (http://www.themaltmiller.co.uk). It's from England, but shipping prices are reasonnable, and products are goods. The malt is delivered already crushed, you just have to add "I like my malts uncrushed" in the commentary of the order if you have your own grain miller. Sometimes, quite often, it's cheaper to order from this website, as even if the shipping is higher, products prices are lower.

Just try to add some products in the basket and simulate an order, and take the cheapest one !

There's some others online shops but I don't remember their adress at the moment, others will help you !

Have fun in France, and don't forget to present yourself in the section "Petits Nouveaux", it would be nice to have some more informations about what you're doing here, your experience on brewing, what kind of beers you like, etc. !

See you there

Hi USBREWER
Take a look in the "Les Fournisseurs" sub category. You'll find all the informations you need on suppliers.

You should look for local breweries.

Most small breweries are willing to help homebrewers by selling them grain at retail prices. Shipping costs are often prohibitive.
