    Swaen is a 100+ years old Belgian maltser.

    "Swaen pale ale malt is used to correct over-pale malts, to produce "golden" beer and to improve palate fullness. For this: a steeping degree of 44 to 46% is used, the malt is normally modified, not overmodified ..." whatever that means.

    Anyone mashed-in with Swaen grains?

    I've brewed pale Castle grains.
    Low protein. Very nice.
    Wondering how the two might compare.

    You have found a retailer carrying this in the US? Couldn't find much info myself
