MALT
Malt is an essential ingredient in the beer-brewing process and has been used by brewers around the world for centuries. It provides the fermentable sugars that are needed to produce alcohol and can also impart a wide range of flavors, aromas, and colors to beer. The type of malt used, as well as other ingredients such as hops and yeast, will influence the character of a beer. Brewers use different types of malt to shape their beers, from light, crisp lagers to dark, malty stouts. Malt is a key component in the flavor profile of beer and has an important role in providing body and mouthfeel. In short, malt plays an invaluable role in helping craft brewers create the many delicious styles of beer we enjoy today!
Why choose Malt made from Wheat?
Malt from wheat is often preferred for its flavor, texture, and consistency. It is low in protein and has a high enzyme content which helps to convert starches into fermentable sugars more efficiently. The light color of wheat malt also contributes to bright, clear beer with excellent head retention. Additionally, the unique flavor profile of wheat malt can accentuate certain hop or yeast flavors, or provide its own character when used as the sole grain. Therefore this why we only export malt made from wheat to our clients across the globe!
Base Malt
Base malt is the foundation of most beer recipes and provides the fermentable sugars needed for alcohol production. It is typically made from barley that has been germinated and kilned to convert the starches into fermentable sugars. Base malt usually makes up 80-90% of a beer's grain bill and can impart subtle flavors, including bready or biscuity notes. Brewers have access to a variety of base malts, each with their own distinct flavor profile, allowing them to tailor their beers to achieve the desired flavor outcomes. Additionally, specialty malts can be used in combination with base malt to add complexity and depth of character. At CR Solutions we work with the largest producers of malt and can provide about any variation of base malt you want according to your requirements
