New York Craft Malt opens state’s only micro-malting operation
Already, some 50 brewers have expressed an interest in Hawley malts, from some larger craft brewers to guys still brewing private stock in a garage, Ted said. The passage of the bill also created another opportunity for the Hawleys. They were able to apply for and receive a $117,000 state grant, which allowed them to immediately double the size of their operation. Eventually, Ted believes the Hawley house will produce 150 tons of malt a year, but he’s starting out small — 1,000 pounds a week.
Update: recent video interview.
