BESTMalts
BESTMALZ is shipped worldwide in bulk, in 25 or 50 kilogram bags, and in big bags. Strict monitoring of our certified production processes and resource-saving energy and environmental management are just as important as the continuous development of our internal documentation system and in-process quality assurance.
Despite standardized production processes certified according to DIN ISO EN 9001, Palatia Malz GmbH places great value on traditional and natural malting according to the German Purity Law.
This is what distinguishes us: Manufacturing in small production batches starting at 100 kilograms, sufficiently long germination times, particularly gentle kilning and a roasting process in which the undesirable bitter substances (pyrazines) are significantly reduced due to the technologies adopted.
Consistent product quality and strict adherence to the promised malt specifications and functionality are an integral part of our commitment to our customers.
Base malts
These malts are the basics: From our extremely pale BEST Heidelberg to dark BEST Melanoidin, we offer a wide range of base malts for diverse beers. They can be used at
100 % of the grain bill and many of them are available in organic quality. Like all of our malts, they are malted slowly and dried gently, ensuring that they are rich in enzymes and possess outstanding processing properties. We use locally grown raw materials combined with careful processing to provide the ideal foundation for outstanding beers.
Craft malts
Our two craft malts BEST Red X® and BEST Special X® offer considerable potential for craft beer with lots of flavor, color and taste. At the same time, they are easy to use and produce reliable results. BEST craft malts can be relied on to help you implement your ideas.
Functional malts
Thanks to their chemical and physical properties, our functional malts and grains change the composition of the wort, and thus the taste, texture and foam of your beer creations. For example, BEST Chit Malt improves the foam of the beer, and BEST Acidulated Malt alters the pH value in the mash.
Organic malts
BEST organic malts are produced from raw materials supplied by certified organic farmers, farmer cooperatives or trading companies. As a processor, the malthouse must also have organic certification. This certifies that organic grain is acquired, stored and processed separately from conventionally grown grain. The certifying and supervising inspection body according to Regulation (EU) No. 2018/848 regarding organic farming for Palatia Malz GmbH is Ecocert IMO GmbH based in Constance (DE-ÖKO-005).
Other grains
It doesn’t necessarily have to be barley: Malt made of other grains can create a wider range of beers and a different texture, making your special beers even more unique. For example, brewing an IPA with a Rye malt gives the beer an interesting flavor and a more complex mouth feel. Oats and spelt can create a similar effect. Moreover, thanks to its high protein content, spelt malt is suitable for making acidic beers.
Roasted malts
Not only for dark beers: BEST roasted malts guarantee a distinct beer color and exciting toasted flavors. As these malts are produced in smaller batches, the colors and flavors can be adjusted more specifically. The gentle roasting process reduces the astringent bitter flavor of dark beers. Intensive chocolate to espresso notes give your beers a unique character.
Speciality malts
Brewers who like to experiment need a special kind of malt. Our range also includes malts with distinctive properties for beers that are in a league of their own. As with all BEST malts, they feature a harmonious blend of color, aroma, ingredients and processing characteristics. Carefully developed and patiently malted, they will give your beer creations an individual, handcrafted touch. Whether you prefer a pale beer or a porter, BEST specialty malts will do the job.
