Maker's Dark
Maker’s Dark is beautifully balanced between malty caramel sweetness and roasted burnt bitterness. Our distinctive kilning recipe takes the heat way up past 250 F imparting significant flavour. The malt will contribute colour and notes in the coffee and chocolate spectrums.

Grown in Maker's Malt
By Elmer Enns
Elmer Enns is our original farmer having grown up on a mixed grain and livestock/dairy farm where we are still located today. Elmer graduated from the College of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan in 1977 and soon after started DoubleEGrain. Elmer is a strong steward of the land and believes in sustainability. He was among the first farmers to incorporate “No-Till” farming which preserves organic matter and prevents soil erosion. Elmer is the senior operator in our group and has participated in over 50 harvests. Despite spending more time with his 8 grandchildren, Elmer is still full-time farming and enjoys the challenge each new season brings to the table.
