    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.

    Pale Ale malt forms the majority of the grist for a typical U.K. Pale Ale or Bitter beer and is made from some of the best barley available. There is an emphasis on single variety and low protein levels. The barley will be fully steeped and germinated before the green malt is loaded to the kiln. Kilning is a carefully controlled process removing moisture to a relatively low level without destroying excessive amounts of enzymes but imparting characteristic flavour and colour. Even with a diastase of only 45°L there is still enough activity to convert for example 5% of Crystal malt and 5 -10% of cooked adjunct (e.g. flaked maize). Mashing is normally at a fixed temperature of about 65°C, so modification has to be high to cope with this and a coarse grist is normally used.
    Many UK brewers stress the flavour benefits in the wort and glass of using Pale Ale malts produced from traditional winter malting barley varieties.

  5. Bestmalz Caramel Hell Malt
    $6.50/kg

    Bestmalz Caramel Hell Malt

    (bulk product - please select amount on product page)

    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. The color of the beer ranges from golden hues to amber, depending on the amount used in the grain bill. The foam and flavor stability of the beer are also improved. 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.

    For Helles, Märzen, wheat beers, light beers, reduced-alcohol and non-alcoholic beers, all golden to amber-colored beer styles.

    Recommended Quantities: Up to 50% of the grain bill.

    EBC: 20-40

  6. Bestmalz Heidelberg Malt
    $5.40/kg

    Bestmalz Heidelberg Malt

    (bulk product - please select amount on product page)

    This is a bulk product - one unit equals 1kg. 
    *Note: 25kg bulk orders will not be milled, you will need your own grain mill. View our range of grain mills here.

    A premium Pilsner malt, BEST Heidelberg is made using special, two-row barley variety that tends to create less color during the malting process. BEST Heidelberg is suited to particularly pale beers and is similar to the Weyermann Premium Pilsner malt. The malt has a slightly lower protein content than a classic Pilsen Malt from the corresponding crop year, but with a high extract value and very high enzyme activity.

    Base malt for Pale Ales, Pale Premium Pilsner and Pilsner beers, ‘light’ beers, as enzyme-rich and light-colored basis for all beer styles.

    Recommended Quantities: Up to 100% of total grain bill

    EBC: up to 2.9

  7. Bestmalz Munich Malt
    $5.70/kg

    Bestmalz Munich Malt

    (bulk product - please select amount on product page)

    This is a bulk product - one unit equals 1kg.
    *Note: 25kg bulk orders will not be milled, you will need your own grain mill. View our range of grain mills here.

    BEST Munich intensifies the mouth feel and malty flavor of amber to dark beers in a pleasant way. Even a small amount in the grain bill gives the beer a typical malty note. BEST Munich is therefore ideally suited to enhancing the body of very highly fermented beers. Due to the generally higher levels of protein in this malt, the higher its concentration in the grain bill, the better the foam of the beers brewed with it.

    Base malt for all dark beers, Export, Märzen, Alt, wheat beers, Bocks and Brown Ale.

    Recommended Quantities: Up to 100% of total grain bill

    EBC: 11-20

  9. Bestmalz Red X Malt
    $6.50/kg

    Bestmalz Red X Malt

    (bulk product - please select amount on product page)

    BEST Red X® is a malt that has become synonymous with red-tinted beers. As it can make at 100% of the grain bill, there is no need to add any other malt. 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

    Bestmalz Vienna Malt

    (bulk product - please select amount on product page)

    BEST Vienna produces a golden color, excellent foam and a pleasant mouth feel in the finished beer. Unlike BEST Heidelberg, this malt uses two-row brewing barley varieties that create more color during the malting process. The protein content is somewhat higher than in a Pilsen malt of the same crop year with a similar enzyme composition and high extract values. For Export, Märzen, Porter and all other beer styles.
