• Black Malt (per Kg)

General Description

 

Black Malt is a form of malted barley that is generally used in darker beers to enhance colour and add some roasted aromatics. Specialty malts usually make up around 25% or less of the total grainbill whilst the rest is made up of Base malt for fermentable sugar.

 

Characteristics

 

Black Malt introduces a dark colour to beer when used in small quantities and introduces roasted flavours, giving the beer some coffee-like bittering aromatics.

 

Additional information (If applicable)

 

Roasted malts contain much less if any fermentable sugar than base malts and thus do not make for a good fermentation base, these are to be used as additions for flavour and colour, not to be used as a base as the roasted aroma character will overpower the beer.
