Frequently Asked Questions
How is pale chocolate different from chocolate malt?

It is roasted less, so it gives a milder, smoother roast with coffee and cocoa tones and less bitterness.

How much should I use?

Usually 1-10% of the grain bill. Smaller amounts add colour and a hint of roast; larger amounts give a clear chocolate-coffee note.

Can I steep it for an extract brew?

Yes. Roasted malts like this do not need mashing, so they can be steeped and the liquid added to the boil.

How long will 1kg last?

At 1-10% of the grain bill, 1kg typically covers several 23 litre batches.
