***We are a working family farm and malthouse and provide private tours and tastings by appointment only*** The Klann family comes from a long line of agriculturists, and can trace their American farming history back to North Carolina in the early 1700’s. In 1847, their grandfather Henderson Luelling, brought the first fruit trees to the state on the Oregon Trail, established Oregon’s first commercial nursery and orchard, and is regarded as the father of the Pacific Northwest fruit industry. Mecca Grade Estate Malt is located on the Klann’s 115-year old family farm in Madras, OR, located on 1000 irrigated acres in the beautiful Central Oregon high desert. Each generation has answered the call to innovation; whether it was breaking new ground in the desert, adopting high-efficiency irrigation system and specialty seed crops, or even adding value to their family farm by malting their own grain for the craft brewing and distilling industry. World-class malt begins with world-class grain. Central Oregon is perfectly suited for growing the world's finest specialty seedstock and malting grains. The Klanns grow only one variety of spring 2-row barley, Full Pint, which was developed by Oregon State University (OSU). Their estate malt made with Full Pint has an entirely unique, nutty, graham-cracker sweetness that is attributable to their farming practices, malting process, and yes, even terroir. By combining an old world approach to floor-malting with today's modern technology, the Klanns designed their own unique machinery and proprietary process called “Mechanical Floor-Malting”. Much like their water conservation efforts on-farm, their malting process requires a fraction of the water used in modern, industrial malts. The process also develops one-of-a-kind flavors not found anywhere else commercially, which hearken back to malts whispered of in historical texts. The Klanns continue to work closely with OSU on their joint barley breeding program, “The Next Pint Project.” They are the only farming family actively breeding proprietary varieties of barley, and more significantly, the only malting company selecting for varietal flavor in beer and whiskey.
