We are excited to announce we now carry BESTMALZ Roasted Malts. These malts are roasted in a more gentle fluidized bed process to create smooth de-bittered flavors when compared to traditional drum roasted malts. They are perfect for intensifying the color in Schwarzbiers, Bocks, Alts, Brown Ales, Porters, and Stouts. Reach out to us to get your hands on BEST Chocolate, Black, and Black Malt eXtra today!
BEST Chocolate Malt
BEST Chocolate Malt is the ideal malt for brewers who want to start exploring the possibilities of beer with a distinct roasted flavor. The malt is produced from green or kiln-dried malt using the very best brewing barley in a special, particularly gentle roasting process. This helps to prevent distinct bitter flavors, as demonstrated by the extremely low pyrazine levels.
For all dark to black beer styles with a mild roasted or coffee note.
800 - 1,000 EBC
300 - 380 ºL
BEST Black Malt
BEST Black Malt is roasted more intensively than BEST Chocolate and is ideal for very dark beers and Stouts, characterized by a pleasant roasted note. Depending on the amount used in the grain bill, the malt produces a flavor profile in the beer ranging from bitter chocolate to strong coffee. Despite the more intensive roasting process, these gentle methods prevent astringent, unpleasantly bitter tastes. This is easily validated when checking the comparatively low pyrazine levels.
For all very dark to black beer styles with a mild roasted or coffee note.
1,100 - 1,200 EBC
415 - 450 ºL
BEST Black Malt eXtra
BEST Black Malt eXtra is the darkest malt in the BEST Black Malt series. The intensive roasting process produces colors and flavor components that give the beer a black to deep black color and nuances of black coffee or strong espresso. BEST Black Malt eXtra does not make the foam darker either.
For all very dark to deep black beer styles with an intensive roast note.
1,300 - 1,400 EBC
490 - 529 ºL
