Thanks to its exceptional process reliability and optimal processability, BEST Red X® can be employed to brew consistently fiery beers with intense reddish hues. The malt was designed for a 12°P beer. To retain the red color in stronger beers, some BEST Pilsen Malt should be added to the grain bill due to the higher wort gravity.

    Base malt for all red and red-tinted beers, amber-colored beers, red-tinted wheat beers, red-tinted Alt, Red Ales, dark beer with a red tinge and many others.

    Recommended Quantities: Up to 100% of total grain bill

    (bulk product - please select amount on product page)
    This is a bulk product - one unit equals 1kg.

    Caramalts are used to give colour and flavour to pale Lager beers but should be used with care to avoid making the beer too dark or giving it too cloying a flavour. They also change the oxidation - reduction state of a beer, and can therefore improve the stability of a beer by preventing the formation of oxidised (cardboard) flavours.

    Bairds Heavily Peated Distilling Malt

    (bulk product - please select amount on product page)

    This is a bulk product - one unit equals 1kg.

    Peated malt is used by some malt distillers to impart a smoked or peaty flavour to their spirit. This type of malt may also occasionally be used as a very small inclusion in brewers’ mashes to produce beer with a smoked character.
    Peated malt is made using exactly the same production regime and barley as (plain) distilling malt during kilning. The peat smoke is absorbed onto the surface of the drying malt which, when processed, imparts the smoked peaty flavour to the finished product.

    BEST Caramel® Hell – known as BEST Caramel® Light – reinforces the typical “caramely” malt aroma of the beer, giving it a mouth feel that is reminiscent of vanilla and cream toffee.

As with BEST Caramel® Pils, only the best two-row summer barley varieties are used together with our gentle BEST caramelization technique to make this outstanding specialty malt.
