COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Primarily used in brewing, it must be milled or crushed before mashing to expose the starchy endosperm for enzyme conversion.
- 2Mash at temperatures between 148-158°F (64-70°C) to convert starches into fermentable sugars for beer production.
- 3As a versatile base malt, it can form up to 100% of the grain bill for many beer styles, providing a clean, slightly sweet, grainy flavor.
- 4Can be used to make malt extract syrup or powder for baking, beverages, and confectionery, adding sweetness and a distinct malty flavor.
STORAGE
Keep it fresh.
- Store unmilled malt in a cool, dry, and dark place in an airtight container to protect it from moisture, pests, and oxygen.
- For optimal freshness and brewing efficiency, use within one year of the manufacturing date.
- Once milled, the grain should be used as soon as possible, ideally within a few weeks, to prevent oxidation and staling.
