Coloured Crushed / Milled Malt Range
Crushed Milled Coloured & Flavour Malts
Types of Coloured Malts
Coloured malts are used in the brewing process to add flavour, aroma, and colour to beer. They are created by roasting malted barley or other grains, which caramelises the sugars and produces a range of colours and flavours. There are several types of coloured malts available, each with their own unique characteristics.
Light Coloured Malts
Light coloured malts are roasted at low temperatures for a short period of time, resulting in a pale colour and a mild caramel flavour. These malts are commonly used in pale ales, lagers, and other light-coloured beers. Some examples of light coloured malts include Pilsner malt, Vienna malt, and Munich malt.
Medium Coloured Malts
Medium coloured malts are roasted at slightly higher temperatures, giving them a deeper colour and a more pronounced caramel flavour. These malts are often used in amber ales, brown ales, and other darker beers. Some examples of medium coloured malts include Pale Ale malt, Maris Otter malt, and Biscuit malt.
Dark Coloured Malts
Dark coloured malts are roasted at high temperatures for a longer period of time, resulting in a dark colour and a strong, roasted flavour. These malts are commonly used in stouts, porters, and other dark beers. Some examples of dark coloured malts include Chocolate malt, Black malt, and Roasted Barley.
Speciality Malts
Speciality malts are created by roasting grains with unique characteristics, such as wheat, rye, or oats. These malts add a unique flavour and texture to beer and are often used in seasonal or specialty brews. Some examples of speciality malts include Wheat malt and Rye malt.
