Amber is the lowest coloured of the roasted malts and imparts a toasty, biscuity maltiness to bitter, ales, milds, porters and stouts, good for depth of flavour without too much intensity. It has no diastatic power and should only be used up to 15% of the grist.

Smoother than roasted barley giving full roasted flavour along with a slightly tart acridity, in small amounts this malt will give a reddish hue without becoming too intense. Use at higher levels for robust to give an edge to robust porters.

The next stage up from Amber Malt is our Brown Malt. The colour is produced in the same manner as Amber, but is roasted for that bit longer to give a nutty roast dryness with a light brown hue, perfect for brown ales and milds.
Remember that when assessing roasted malts, it is the resultant colour and flavour of the wort and beer that is important rather than the colour of the outer barley husk of the malt in your hand.
Different varieties of barley may give roasted malts with differing husk colour, but will produce wort with the expected colour and flavour when mashed.

Available Whole or Crushed
More intense in colour and flavour with distinct roasted coffee aroma and flavour along with bittersweet dark chocolate undertones. Perfect for adding depth to brown ales and bitters and a must in strong milds, stouts and porters.

Amagical thing happens when amino acids and reducing sugars combine at critical temperatures; the Maillard reaction. Starting with higher protein spring barley we germinate to higher levels of modification then adjust early kilning conditions to utilise the malt enzymes to hydrolyse protein and convert starch in sugars.
Finally, a long drying phase with a higher temperature results in the Maillard reaction taking place to produce pronounced rich malt, freshly baked bread crust and the characteristic Munich bite at the back of the palate.
*Up to 100% (lower DP and extract than Light Munich so at 100% less speciality malt can be added).

Dextrin malt is germinated in the process to create longer chain sugars that survive the mashing process to give higher attenuation limits and thus fuller tasting beers. It can provide extra body and improve the head retention of your brew.
