BEST Beechwood Smoked

BEST Beechwood Smoked (Malt) is smoked over the finest beechwood and gives the beer its typical taste, which is reminiscent of campfires and very strongly of smoked ham. The malt is ideal for both beer and whisky production. For initial use, we recommend 10% in the malt bill, which can be increased to 100% thanks to its high enzymatic power. It should be borne in mind that the full smoky aroma usually only develops after fermentation and storage.
