At Eckert Malting and Brewing, we specialize in the custom malting and roasting of gluten-free grains, providing brewers and food producers with premium, gluten free ingredients, without cross-contamination.
Our dedicated gluten-free facility ensures safety, quality, and exceptional flavor in every batch.
Our roasting process is designed to match the specific needs of your brew. Whether you want a light, crisp finish for a refreshing ale or rich, roasted flavors for a bold beer, we carefully adjust the roasting time and temperature to bring out the exact flavor and color profiles you’re looking for.
Our expertise includes roasting California rice, which is ideal for crafting smooth, clean gluten-free beers that stand out. From light golden hues to deep, dark malts, our roasting techniques allow you to create unique beers with bold flavors and perfect color balance.
Malting is the process of germinating and drying grains to produce the enzymes necessary for converting starches into fermentable sugars during brewing. At Eckert Malting, we focus on malting California rice, which has become a cornerstone in gluten-free brewing.
The process begins by steeping the rice in water to stimulate germination. Once sprouted, the rice is carefully dried and, if needed, roasted to achieve specific flavor profiles.
Our custom malting process gives you the ability to create gluten-free beers with the complexity and richness typically found in traditional barley-based brews. Whether you’re brewing a light, crisp lager or a rich, malty ale, our malting expertise ensures your gluten-free beer stands out in both taste and quality.
