We search high and low each year to find a pristine sample of white wheat to malt. The variety of our first batch is AC Andrew and it was grown by Charabin Seed Farm. I loaded up our White Tandem and headed west on a crisp December day. Funny how old Tandems don't like -40 C...I had a stuck accelerator cable and frozen air brakes before I had even crossed the North Saskatchewan. A bit of rigging got me to Charabin where I not only loaded up white wheat, but was helped to a fantastic chili lunch with a crew of 10 from the local snowmobile club. They had draught beer on tap from The Armoury in North Battleford and I later found it that the batch they were drinking was made from Maker's Malt! They also threw a heater on my air brakes so I could make it home without relying on the pen I had stuck in the release to hold out...what a beauty of a stop! In more recent years we've worked with Antler Valley Farms in Alberta.
