Crystal Malt Makers

This is a difficult question to answer. It all depends on what you are buying and planning to brew. If your recipe calls for a British pale malt, go with Crisp, though Simpsons would work equally well. If you are doing a Scottish ale, go with the Simpsons Golden Promise. If you are doing pilsners or any other German style beers, go with Weyermann. For recipes calling for good old American 2 row, stick with the Briess and the stuff they malt in Wisconsin.

They are all equally good overall. Which one to pick depends on the recipe and style of beer. There are also a number of other major malt producers that belong on this list, but you do list the most common of the really good ones.

Wayne Bugeater Brewing Company

In the UK, there's one co. that only makes coloured malts etc, which IMO are very good - French & Jupps -

According to the website, they do export to US (if that's where you are?) though I don't know if anyone sells it on to homebrewers. One of the best UK maltsters,

In my expereience F&J's crystal malt is lovely stuff, I've found Fawcett's crystal a bit harsh/roasty (though their pale crystal is good). cheers, MikeMcG.
