Your organic malt toolkit just got bigger! Since the beginning of 2009 Briess has introduced two new organic malts that make it possible to brew an even wider variety of organic beers. Organic Black Malt and Organic Pale Ale Malt are the newest members of the Briess portfolio of organic ingredients for beer, which now numbers 13. The organic version of both malts have the same characteristics as their conventional counters and, like all Briess organic malts, are USDA Certified Organic:
In 1990 the Briess malthouse in Chilton, Wisconsin, was certified to produce organic malt, making Briess the first malting company in the United States to become certified organic. Over the years Briess has remained committed to the organics movement, and today all Briess manufacturing facilities are certified to produce organic ingredients. Our third party certifying agency is Oregon Tilth. and we are a proud member of the Organic Trade Association.
Deciding whether to enter the world of organics can be a difficult decision to make and is often based on a combination of market demand or potential, plus a personal commitment to healthy living and our environment. The decision should be made, however, only after gaining a complete understanding of what it takes to become certified organic, how to label organic products and using an organic certifying agency.
That’s where we can help.
Growing, processing, storing, labeling and selling organic goods is the U.S. is regulated by the USDA’s National Organic Program (NOP). We understand that system. And while we can’t make your decision for you, we can help you understand the world of organics so you can make the right decision for you and your brewery. |
