2025
We at Renbergsvattnet’s farm have, with the help of Tevsjö Mill & Distillery, refined the malting barley we grew into our own Renbergs Gin.
Flavored with rowan berries, spruce shoots and creeping thistles – which is new for this year, everything is handpicked in Renbergsvattnet.
Growing organic grains for our animals is part of our everyday life. But growing organic malting barley is something new and exciting in our latitudes.
A little touch of luxury in the life of a farmer. So, add a splash of our Renbergs Gin to your glass and enjoy it with us!

From seed to gin
The farming year begins in autumn when we plow the fields in preparation for next spring’s malt barley sowing.
When the spring sun sufficiently warmed up the soil, we fertilize the fields with manure from our cows, which is then harrowed into the soil to provide nutrition aswell as create an even seedbed for the sowing of the malting barley. We sow the malting barley at the end of May.
The malting barley emerges in the mid-July.
The malting barley in early August, a few weeks before harvest.
The malting barley is harvested in September.
The harvested grain is dried during the evening/night by blowing 70-degree air, heated with two pellet boilers totaling 600 kW, through the grain.
In order for the grain to be stored, it must be dried down to a moisture content of 14 percent, which takes 2-6 hours. After checking the moisture content, the grain is transterred to a storage silo the following morning.
