Kilned up to 160°C using Castle Malting's traditional 9-day malting process, it develops dry, roasted, and nutty tones without the bitterness or heavy colour of darker malts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnzyme-free, so it needs to be used alongside a base malt with diastatic power — but at 5–10% it quietly lifts body, adds a biscuity backbone, and gives malt-forward beers a clean, rustic edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45–55 EBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted bread, biscuit, light nutty roast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 25% of grain bill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown Ale, Porter, Bière de Garde, Belgian Dubbel, Amber Lager\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstitutes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crisp Biscuit, Weyermann Melanoidin, CaraAmber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrewer's notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse 5–10% to lift body and toast notes in brown ales or lagers.
