Bestmalz Acidulated Malt 3-8 EBC

Bestmalz Acidulated Malt 3-8 EBC is pilsner malt carrying natural lactic acid — the clean way to pull mash pH down. Malted by Bestmalz in Heidelberg, Germany, and the right choice for mash pH correction in any beer; 1% lowers pH ~0.1.

Use it at 1-5% of the grain bill. All-grain brewers mash it with the base malt; extract brewers steep it in a grain bag. Order it whole, or choose Crushed and we mill it fresh at 1 mm right before shipping.
