Description
BEST Special X® is a dark caramel malt that has been roasted only for a short time. As a result, it develops a very intensive, exceptional flavour profile. Adding a maxiumum of 20% to the grain bill leads to a luminous, chestnut red to chestnut brown colour in a 12°P beer. Even when used in smaller amounts, the malt is ideally suited to supporting the overall body of dark beers, giving them a more diverse and interesting taste. BEST Special X® is a fantastic malt variety that brewers looking for new ideas should take advantage of because of the diverse possibilities of this special malt. BEST Special X® complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot.
Use: For Alt, Bocks, Schwarzbier, malt beers, Belgian styles like Abbey and Trappist beer, British styles like Amber beers, Dark Ales, Porters and Stouts, and as an ingredient for all craft beers.
Rate: Up to 20 % of the grain bill.
