As we began talking with Stu and Brad at Voyager Craft Malt about sourcing Australian malted grains, they introduced us to Beaufort. We'd been searching for a quality soft wheat to complement our growing range of Australian grain varieties, and this one immediately caught our attention. Voyager's close relationships with Australian growers allow grains like Beaufort to find their way beyond the malting industry and into the hands of home millers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eBeaufort soft red wheat variety.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eCertified organic Australian grain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eIdeal for home milling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eWell suited to cakes, biscuits and pastries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eSelected through Voyager Craft Malt's grower network.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eA chance to experience how wheat variety influences baking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eMilling \u0026amp; Baking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eWhole grain gives you complete control over freshness and flour extraction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eMill immediately before baking for maximum freshness, or adjust your milling to suit your preferred texture.
