Key features

  • Pale barley malt chosen for distilling washes
  • High enzyme content (diastatic power) to convert starches into fermentable sugars, including from adjuncts like corn, rye or wheat
  • Clean, mild cereal character that lets your yeast and any peated or speciality malts come through
  • Highly fermentable, so suits strong washes

Specs

How to use

Mash it as your base grain, on its own or with other grains, then ferment the strained wort with a distiller's yeast. Add distiller's enzymes if you use a high share of unmalted adjuncts.

Who it's for

Home distillers running small all-grain or part-grain washes who want more than a trial bag.
