Shaniko (White Winter Wheat)

“Wind-malt” is a long-forgotten style of Belgian malt that was allowed to air-dry in the lofts of barns. To our knowledge, it has never been produced commercially in North America. We’ve revived it with “Gateway,” a malt that is bursting with the aroma of fresh-cut hay while being nearly translucent in color. Gateway is perfectly-suited for decoctions, step mashing, and is the missing ingredient when brewing historic styles of beer. (Color: 1.2 SRM, PPG: 38)

Gateway Wind Malt

\pel·tin\  – The perfect choice for creating premium lagers, light ales, farmhouse, and wild beer. Produces a complex, slightly grassy, and crisp wort through which our terroir is pronounced...rustic, yet refined.
(Color: 1.8 SRM, PPG: 38)

Pelton (Pilsner Style Malt)

Opal 22 packs in heaps of lightly-toasted, graham and chocolate flavor - just think: S’mores around the campfire minus the marshmallow. Use anywhere from 0-100% to add even more depth to your grain bill.
(Color 20 SRM, PPG: 35.6)

Opal 22 (Graham and Cocoa)

Opal 44 is your next, secret ingredient. Sweet, moderately-toasted, with hints of chocolate and raisin; it’s wort is reminiscent of homemade almond roca. The typical usage rate is 2.5 - 5%, but at 44 DP, it can be used up to 100%.
(Color 40 SRM, PPG: 35.6)

Opal 44 (Toasted Toffee)

Soft White Winter Wheat

\met·OLE·ee·us\ – Imparts a robust and warming malt profile that tastes exactly like a liquid, toasted, graham cracker. With a deep orange & brown color, this malt is the superior choice for brewing traditional styles like Bocks and Munich lagers.
(Color: 11.0 SRM, PPG: 35)

Metolius (Munich Style)

\luh·mon·tuh\  – The new standard for brewing pale ales and British specialty beers; Lamonta is a remarkable and complex North American craft malt that is golden, sweet, and slightly biscuity. (Color: 3.0 SRM, PPG: 37)

Mecca Grade is an estate malthouse located on 1,000 irrigated acres in Oregon. Our location is in the rain shadow of the Cascades which provides hot, dry days and cool nights perfect for growing specialty seed and grain.

Much like a vineyards’ location determine the character of its grape varietals, our grains are unique due to their uniform growth within a 2-mile radius of the malthouse. As such, our malts are truly unlike anything else available.

Inspired by tradition and driven by our uncompromising spirit, we’ve innovated an entirely new process for creating Mecca Grade’s line of artisan malts. Combining time-honored methods with modern technology, we produce the most flavorful malts available via a process we call “Mechanical Floor-Malting.” This one-of-a-kind machine of our own invention with shallow grain beds in perpetual motion allow us to soak, stir, and kiln our grains to perfection; delivering malts of unrivaled consistency and bursting with character.

For generations, “The best or nothing at all,” has been our family’s guiding philosophy. It’s what led us across the country by covered wagon, and drove us to thrive no matter the endeavor. We never compromise. We never back down from a challenge. We never stray away from tradition of fearless innovation and unparalleled quality.

Grassy? Spicy? It’s time to toss those over-used flavor descriptors to the wayside and experience malted rye that is in a class of its own. Rimrock is gently-kilned to a rich orange hue and has a warm bread flavor with notes of graham and honey. This rustic malt has a slight aromatic and herbal character that will remind you of the High Desert frontier.
