Winter malting barleys are often used and the modification level is frequently high. The malt is roasted in revolving cylinders with carefully controlled temperature conditions, with a maximum temperature range of 100 C to 150 C. Duration of roasting is critical to achieve the correct colour range which in the case of Amber is typically 45 – 60 EBC. Enzyme levels are very low. Extracts are lower than conventional brewing malts. Amber malt is used in the USA and Japan as a small proportion of the grist in the preparation of beers requiring some substantial depth of colour. In certain English beers larger quantities are used. It imparts a dry, light biscuit flavour. view less | |

The malt is roasted in a revolving roasting drum and temperatures of 230 C may be used. The main process difference between Black Malt and Chocolate Malt is in duration of roasting. Target colours of 1450 EBC can be achieved. Enzymes are destroyed in the process and extract level is markedly lower than conventional malt. It is essential that charring does not take place as this would result in excessive loss in extract and loss of colour. Black Malt is used in stouts to improve flavour and colour, the flavour being a more astringent flavour than that imparted by other coloured malts. view less | |

It is produced in much the same way as Crystal but the final roast stage is extended and at lower temperatures to meet the requirements for lower colour, higher extract and higher moisture. Unlike Crystal the endosperm does not liquefy, but remains 'floury'. Consequently, it is used where sweetness is less important but some colour enhancement and a 'dry' flavour is required, usually in lagers. view less | |

It is roasted in a revolving roasting drum and temperatures of up to 225 C may be reached. The enzymes are completely destroyed and dark, roasted products are formed. Colours of 1200 EBC can be achieved. The duration of roasting is critical to the degree of colour formed. The endosperm should be dark brown in colour and should be uniformly friable and not shiny. Care is taken that the malt is not scorched. Chocolate malt is used in dark ales and stouts to improve both flavour and colour. The malt imparts a dry 'biscuity' flavour. view less | |

This is followed by a final roasting period at the same temperature as Medium Crystal but for slightly longer to produce a target colour of 200 EBC. The product is used to enhance body, colour and flavour of ales and lagers but is usually used for darker beers than Medium Crystal. Crystal malts are high in reductones and have the beneficial effect of enhancing shelf life by inhibiting the development of off-flavours. view less | |

It is preferable to use as low a nitrogen content barley as possible as this enhances the spirit yield achieved per tonne of malt. Barley is steeped to 44 - 46% moisture. Germination temperatures are controlled between 12 C - 16 C for a period of five days. Kilning is gentle to preserve enzymes and maximise fermentability and temperatures ramp from 50 C rising to a maximum of 74 C. The malt produced is suitable for distilleries using an all malt mash where the spirit yield per tonne following fermentation and distillation is important. view less | |
| High Diastatic Malt | BOORTMALT NV | High Diastatic Malt is produced from selected two-row malting barley varieties with a nitrogen range of 1.75% - 2.10% (10.9% - 13% protein).

Varieties are selected on the basis of an inherent tendency to generate high levels of diastatic power on malting. Malt produced are suitable for use in the production of grain whisky or malt extract. In grain distilling the malt is typically blended at 10% with either pre-cooked wheat or maize and serves to breakdown the starch matrix of these unmalted adjuncts to produce a fermentable wort. view less | |
| Lager Pilsen Malt | BOORTMALT NV | Lager Pilsen Malt can be made from two-row spring, two-row winter and six-row winter varieties with a protein range of 9.5% - 11,5% (1.52% - 1.84% nitrogen).

Pilsner is the classic, very light (1.5 to 2.5L) base malt for a large number of European and US beers. Pilsner has been the de-facto malts for Light Pilsner and Lagers like Munich Helles, Czech Lagers, Bohemian Pilsner and American Light Lager/Pilsner. Pilsner malt is also the base for the majority of Belgian Style beers.Compared to Pale Malt, Pilsner has a higher concentration of enzyme levels that allow a larger percentage of adjunct grains to be mashed and converted successfully to more simple sugars. view less | |

All of the Crystal malts are prepared from fully germinated but unkilned barley, known as "green malt". Green malt forms the feedstock for a two-stage roasting process that consists of a stewing period followed by high temperature curing. By careful control of the two stages it is possible to generate a range of differently coloured products, including Light, Medium and Dark Crystals, which are also crystalline. Typically, Crystals are used in brewing to add both colour and sweet flavour notes. view less | |

Product is initially warmed with no ventilation in a roasting drum until a temperature of 60 C - 80 C is reached. Time spent in the final roasting period is critical in controlling the amount of colour formed. In the case of medium crystal malt, which has a target colour of 160 EBC, the time is relatively short usually 1.5 to 2 hours. The product has a sweet caramel flavour and is used to provide body, colour and flavour to ales and lagers. view less | |
| Mild Ale Malt | BOORTMALT NV | Mild Ale Malts are typically made from winter or spring malting barleys with a nitrogen level below 1.65% (10.3% protein).

The grain is steeped to 45% moisture and germinated cool to produce a well-modified malt. Kilning starts at 60 C and rises to 100 C-105 C to produce a malt with a colour of 5.5 to 7.5 EBC. The malt is suitable for infusion mashing using top fermenting yeast. Due to the kilning regimes used it produces wort with a higher dextrin content than pale ale malt, resulting in a sweet beer regardless of whether it is draft mild ale or the bottled version, brown ale. view less | |
| Munich Malt | BOORTMALT NV | Munich Malt is a dark colored malt made from two-row spring barley. This type of malt is used in the production of bottom-fermented decoction mashed dark coloured lager and takes its name from the city of Munich, which was famous for such beers. | |

The grain is steeped to 45% moisture and germinated for 4 to 5 days under cool conditions to produce a well-modified malt. The malt is traditionally used in infusion mashing systems using top fermenting yeasts, to produce amber coloured pale ale bitter and export styles of beers. Usually the colour of the beer is derived solely from the malt and in small traditional breweries no adjuncts are used. view less | |

The process is similar to that used for Black malt, the grain being heated in a revolving roasting drum to temperatures up to 230 Celsius. Colours of 1700 EBC can be achieved. Charring is avoided, as it would result in loss of colour. Beer or stout produced by incorporating Roasted barley in the grist has a dry flavour and a lighter colour head than that given by Chocolate or Black malt. view less | |

Although traditionally stouts have been made by infusion mashing, they are now also made by decoction methods. The malts must be able to cope with high proportions of coloured malts and/or unmalted adjuncts. For this reason the enzyme content of the malt is higher than that of ale malt. Typically used in wheat beers. view less | |

The wheat receives a light steeping program as wheat takes easily water compared to barley. Moisture content at the end of steeping is 38% - 40%. In germination the moisture content in the wheat is kept low compared to barley. Kilning technique is comparable to the one for Pilsen malt. This type of malt is typically used in wheat beers. view less |
