Malt for Breweries: Performance, Provenance and Practical Support from Charles Faram [UK]
Brewers know that great beer starts with great malt. From extract efficiency to colour stability, from foam retention to fermentability, malt is the structural core of any recipe. At Charles Faram, we’ve built our malt offering around one guiding principle: give brewers the confidence to brew with consistency and control.
Our position as a leading hop merchant is well established, but the same standards we apply to hops — trusted sourcing, strict quality control, and genuine technical backing — define how we supply malt for breweries across the UK and EU.
Why Source Malt Through Charles Faram?
In today’s brewing landscape, malt supply isn’t just about price or variety, it’s about predictability, traceability, and technical reliability. Here’s how we deliver on all three:
- Reliable Sourcing from Proven Partners
We supply malts from respected UK and international maltsters, selected for quality and consistency over crop years. We maintain stock of essential brewing malts, from Pale Ale and Lager malts through to specialty and adjunct options, so you can access what you need, when you need it.
- Technical Specifications You Can Build On
Every batch of malt we supply comes with detailed technical data straight from the supplier including:
- Extract potential
- Colour (EBC/Lovibond)
- Moisture content
This allows you to formulate with precision and adjust based on target performance metrics, whether you’re brewing to tight specs or developing new products.
- Integrated Logistics and Fulfilment
We hold UK stock and operate an efficient delivery network. Whether you’re ordering 25kg sacks, half pallets, or full tonnes, we can match your production rhythm, including split orders or just-in-time deliveries for tight brew schedules.
