The Brewer’s MarketGuide Online BrewingTechniques has graciously provided online access to the BMG special focus on malts and maltsters. Click on the maltsters in the left-hand panel to see more descriptions (it starts with ADM). This is a comprehensive look, circa 1997, at available grain malts, with detailed descriptions of both the companies and their malts. Some maltsters have gone under and others arrived since the writing of this guide, but it is still very helpful. One note: When De Wolf-Cosyns Maltings went out of business, the head maltster and most of the product line went to Dingemans (according to HBD), so these descriptions are still very helpful – especially for those who enjoy brewing Belgian beer styles.

How to Brew has the most coherent description of brewing water chemistry I’ve read
My nomograph discussion includes a nomograph plot of famous brewing waters and an excel spreadsheet designed to ease water salt calculations

Let's all raise a glass in welcome to new contributing author Jesse. Unlike yours truly, Jesse is experienced at lager brewing and kegging. I hear his first post will be tracking a typical lager brew run on his system. Cheers!
