Bestmalz Spelt Malt 3.5-6 EBC

Bestmalz Spelt Malt is a premium alternative grain malt made from spelt (ancient wheat), offering a distinctive character that enhances both flavour complexity and mouthfeel. With a light colour of 3.5–6 EBC, it contributes a pale golden tone while adding depth to your beer.

 

Spelt malt delivers a unique profile of nutty, slightly spicy, and bready notes, along with a soft, rounded texture. Thanks to its higher protein content, it also improves foam stability and body, similar to wheat malt, but with a more complex flavour.

 

Ideal for brewers looking to create rustic, traditional, or modern craft beers with a twist, spelt malt works beautifully in both classic European styles and innovative recipes.
