Crisp Malt – All about Milling
Our second webinar will take place on Thursday 26th March at 3pm GMT and will be hosted by Mike Benson who will be taking you through the technical aspects of milling. We’ll be looking at how we mill here at Crisp to optimise for mash tuns, questioning the sticky subject of crushed v whole malt shelf life, asking about lauter tun v mash tun grists and also talking about different types of mill.
As always, there will be an opportunity to ask questions after the presentation. You’ll also be able to download the slides or re-watch the webinar.
