Brown Malt

That which imparts flavor and body to beer. Malt is made from barley, a cereal similar to wheat. In crafting beer, barley is soaked until it sprouts. It is then drained and dried for storage. This process harnesses natural enzymes – a process that releases fermentable sugars, and develops the flavors in beer.

Malt Examples:    Crisp Brown Malt

Colour:    60-70

A roasted malt, darker than biscuit, lighter than chocolate. Imparts a dry biscuity flavor, and a light brown color
