I like to try as many different brands of malt that I can. It's cost me lots of money to purchase sacks of grain from different companies but i do enjoy trying them.
So far, I really like (as well as others I share my beer with) Mecca Grade Lamonta. Their Munich, Vienna and Pislen are good as well. I am also a fan of Proximity Malt. They've made me very good beers the last 3 years.
Of course, I still use Rahr, Great Western and others that I can get at my LHBS but trying boutique maltsters has been fun. I can tell the difference in my Pales and IPA's but not so much my stouts. I can't tell the brand but I can tell when I've used these more expensive malts.
What's your favorite and why.
