Needs a base malt in the mash to convert it

How to use it

Add at flameout or in the fermenter. Boiling it drives off everything you paid for.

Belongs in

  • Blonde Ale
  • Saison
  • British Golden Ale

Buying it

Buy it whole and crush it on brew day if you can. Milled malt goes stale within weeks, and a stale base malt is the most common reason a beer with no obvious fault still tastes of nothing. Store it cool, dry and sealed against insects.
