BEST Melanoidin Light

BEST Melanoidin Light is a malt characterized by a high content of dextrins and aroma- and color-intensive Maillard compounds, the so-called melanoidins. In addition to a russet color, these impart a special flavor and a dry, full-bodied character to the beer. Melanoidins can have a positive effect on the shelf life of the beer. Since the malt contains a high proportion of enzymes, high grain bill proportions can also be used without any problems.

For dark and russet beers, Alt, Märzen, Bock, wheat beers as well as many other specialty beers.
