Peated malt

[Reviled]

Anywhere in the country I can get this stuff? Does anyone have any? Even a teensy small amount say 50-100gs?

Ask at Hauraki.
They list a whiskey kit that has "peated malt barley"

[Reviled]

Yeah they do but you have to buy the whole whiskey kit at $50 when I just want a teensy bit for a scottish beer and a scotch ale :o(

Maybe I should just make a whiskey instead? :oP lol

[jt]

Well ask where they get it from then ?
Unless the whole kit is brought in made up ...

[Reviled]

lol, one step ahead of you, they bring them in made up apparantly :o( Mike doesnt list it either.. Stu - any chance youll be getting some in the future?

Peat your own at home !

Get down to the garden centre and buy a 5 litre bag of Peat ... throw 100gm each of peat & pale malt in a bag, toss to combine, seal and leave overnight ...

Got to be worth a go, I mean people toast and smoke their own malts, right ?

[Reviled]

Do you just chuck it in a bag with the peat? I thought it was peat smoked? I didnt realise you could get it at the garden place, could be an interesting experiment.. Allthough ive never smoked anything before..

I have absolutely no idea and perhaps this shouldn't be considered.

Soil (and I presume peat) does contain a lot of unhealthy organisms that can cause you problems if inhaled - hence warnings on bags of compost, potting mix etc

Hmm true, google search here i come...

It is peat smoked. Peat sponaneosly combusts over there, but it doesn't burn like an open fire - it vents out of the ground in a ploom of smoke. These are at the peat moors. You could stick some peat in a tin can, put a soldering iron in it - in the bottom of your BBQ with your malt in a sieve on top, shut the lid and leave it for a few hours.

Works a treat - I did my own malt like this... I have 2 KG of it - you should have said something when you were here, dog.

Did you do it with Peat or wood? Hook us up bro ;o)

[JoKing]

Both. Peat is real dense, and the soldering iron dries it out before it starts smoking. I'll swap you some for some Brewjolais!
