Black Malt (Crisp Maltings)
Black Malt: A Staple for Stout and Porter Beers
Crisp Maltings' Black Malt is a heavily roasted malt known for its intense dark colour and robust flavours, making it an excellent choice for stouts and porters.
Despite its reputation for being astringent, this malt from Crisp Maltings offers some bitterness and astringency, but also flavours of currants and berries.
Also referred to as patent malt, Black Malt can be used in small amounts up to 3% for most beers or up to 10% for darker beer styles.
Adding this malt only during the sparging process is excellent for darkening beer colour without imparting too much astringency or roast characteristics.
