How do I check the status of my order?

Our team is committed to providing you with the most up-to-date information about existing orders. Reach out to one of our Prairie Malt account executives or contact us for questions about your order.

What are Prairie's recommendations for storage?

For best results, store your malted grains in a dry, climate-controlled environment with temperatures in the range of 50°F to 70°F. Transfer any unused grain into a sealed, airtight container to preserve freshness and prevent contamination. You can store uncrushed grain for up to a year under these conditions.

What is the shelf life of a product milled by Prairie Malt for a customer?

We recommend that all product that is received as milled or crushed directly by us at Prairie Malt be used within 30 days of receipt.
