Weyermann Melanoidin 60-80 EBC

Weyermann Melanoidin 60-80 EBC is intensely malty and melanoidin-rich — adds the depth of a long kettle boil and improves flavour stability. Malted in Bamberg by Weyermann, the benchmark German maltster, and the right choice for Bock, Scottish ale, amber lagers and decoction-style character without the decoction.

Use it at 5-15% of the grain bill. It is pre-converted in the kilning, so all-grain brewers mash it with the base malt and extract brewers simply steep it in a grain bag. Order it whole, or choose Crushed and we mill it fresh at 1 mm right before shipping.
