Malteriet AS is a farm malting plant that malts local grain, which is sold to breweries and private individuals. We are debio-certified, and have a focus on culture and ancient grain varieties. We malt the old grain variety Domen, winter rye and spelt, in addition to conventional barley varieties. We have full traceability from field to finished malt. The malting plant is located in Efteløt, along RV 40, midway between Kongsberg and Hvittingfoss.
The malting plant is located on Nordre Lie farm, which operates organic grain production and supplies grain to the malting plant. In addition, organic and conventional farmers in the region produce grain that is supplied to us. Malting is essentially the germination of grain. The grain is germinated until the germ emerges in the grain, then the process is completed with drying and then kilning (shaking) which forms the different varieties of malt. The malting plant supplies malt to breweries, distilleries and other food companies.
The process requires energy, and we have therefore established an aeration system with heat exchangers and heat pumps to be more sustainable.
