Weyermann® Acidulated Malt - 500g

Weyermann Acidulated Malt (Sauermalz) is a German specialty malt that contains natural lactic acid from un-hopped wort. It is the simplest way to lower your mash pH for better conversion and a crisper beer, and it is also used to brew sour styles.

Key facts

• Made from premium German barley by Weyermann in Bamberg
• Sensory: fruity-acidic, universally applicable
• Colour: 2.0-5.0 EBC (1.2-2.3°L)
• Benefit: helps enzyme activity by bringing the mash to an ideal pH
• Pack size: 500g

How to use

Around 1% of the grist lowers mash pH by roughly 0.1. Use up to 10% in sour beers. Check your mash with Beer pH Test Strips.

Who it is for

All-grain brewers with soft or alkaline water, lager and pilsner brewers chasing a clean, crisp finish, and anyone experimenting with sour beers. It works well alongside Lager (Pilsner) Malt and Maris Otter. Prefer to dose directly? Try Brewco Lactic Acid Powder. Compare every malt we stock.
