Distillers Malt - 5kg

Our biggest bag of distillers malt: 5kg of pale, high-enzyme barley malt as the base of a full-size grain wash for whisky-style spirits.

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

• Weight: 5kg
• Type: pale barley malt for distilling

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
