Produced by partially germinating barley before kilning, it retains a higher protein and beta-glucan content than fully malted barley — which translates directly into improved body, mouthfeel, foam formation, and head stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavour contribution is subtle: earthy, grassy, raw grain. It's not there to be noticed — it's there to make everything else taste better.\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 2.4–6.0 EBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthy, grassy, raw grain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–15% of grain bill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e German Lager, Belgian Ales, Hazy\/NEIPA, American Pale Ale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstitutes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dextrin, Torrefied Wheat, Carafoam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrewer's notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high beta-glucan content that gives Chit Malt its foam-building properties can also slow your lauter at higher rates.
