Bestmalz Melanoidin Light Malt 61-80 EBC

Bestmalz Melanoidin Light Malt 61-80 EBC is melanoidin-rich depth in a lighter touch — kettle-boil character without the colour jump. Malted by Bestmalz in Heidelberg, Germany, and the right choice for Bock, amber lager and malt-forward ales at 5–15%.

Use it at 5-15% 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.
