Chocolate Rye 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:    Weyermann Chocolate, Rye Malt

Colour:    190-300

Kilned at a high temperature to a chocolate color. Imparts a nutty spicy aroma and flavor, and a chocolate color with rye character
