Special B® MD

Wort colour: 
Type of malt: 
Caramalised Malts, Specialty Malts

Our Special B® MD is the darkest of the caramel malts. Thanks to a unique double drying process, Special B® MD gets its unique aroma and flavour. Special B® malt has an intense caramel flavour and is often connected to the raisin-like flavour of some Belgian abbey beers.

Should you desire less bitterness in your beer, you can change out MRoost 900 and 1400 with Special B® MD malt.

All caramelised malts have a positive effect on foam stability from as little as 5% of the grain bill.

This caramelised malt can be used for up to 15% of the grain bill.
