BEST Wheat Malt Dark

BEST Wheat Malt Dark is the dark or “Munich variant” of BEST Wheat Malt. It is suitable for use in sparkling, amber and dark wheat beers as well as in top-fermented beer specialties. Due to the more intensive malting process, BEST Wheat Malt Dark achieves a fuller, maltier body in the beer in combination with richer bright colors. Compared to a barley malt of comparable color, the aroma profile is somewhat more intensely fruity to floral, the foam is improved by fine pores and longer shelf life.

For dark wheat beers, dark top-fermented beers, dark reduced-alcohol beers and non-alcoholic beers.
