BEST Special X® is a dark caramel malt that has been roasted only for a short time. As a result, it develops a very intensive, exceptional flavor profile. Adding max. 20% to the grain bill leads to a luminous, chestnut red to chestnut brown color in a 12Â°P beer. Even when used in smaller amounts, the malt is ideally suited to supporting the overall body of dark beers, giving them a more diverse and interesting taste. BEST Special X® is a fantastic malt variety that brewers looking for new ideas should take advantage of because of the diverse possibilities of this special malt. BEST Special X® complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot.

BEST Red X® is a malt that has become synonymous with red-tinted beers. As it can make at 100% of the grain bill, there is no need to add any other malt. Thanks to its exceptional process reliability and optimal processability, BEST Red X® can be employed to brew consistently fiery beers with intense reddish hues. The malt was designed for a 12Â°P beer. To retain the red color in stronger beers, some BEST Pilsen Malt should be added to the grain bill due to the higher wort gravity. BEST Red X® complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot.

BEST Caramel® Hell – known as BEST Caramel® Light – reinforces the typical “caramely” malt aroma of the beer, giving it a mouth feel that is reminiscent of vanilla and cream toffee. The color of the beer ranges from golden hues to amber, depending on the amount used in the grain bill. The foam and flavor stability of the beer are also improved. As with BEST Caramel® Pils, only the best two-row summer barley varieties are used together with our gentle BEST caramelization technique to make this outstanding specialty malt. BEST Caramel® Hell complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot. BEST Caramel® Hell is also available in organic quality.

BEST Caramel® Hell

BEST Melanoidin Light has high levels of Maillard reactions, or melanoidins, which produce a highly intensive aroma and color. As well as giving the beer a rust color, they lend it a unique taste and dry, full-bodied character. Melanoidins can also have a positive impact on the storage life of the beer. As the malt is high in enzymes, it can make up large share of the grain bill. BEST Melanoidin Light complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot.

BEST Caramel® Pils is the palest of all BEST Caramel® malts. It is therefore especially suited to giving the beer more mouth feel without intensifying its color. BEST Caramel® Pils produces a sweet flavor in the beer that is reminiscent of honey, as the sugar-like caramel compounds contained in the malt can no longer be fermented by the yeast. Likewise, these products can lead to an improvement in the foam and greater flavor stability. BEST Caramel® Pils complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot. BEST Caramel® Pils is also available in organic quality.

BEST Wheat Malt emphasizes the effervescent freshness and typical top-fermented flavor of wheat beer. It is produced exclusively from high-quality brewing wheat. As it has a higher protein content than a Pilsen malt, BEST Wheat Malt is not only suited to producing typical wheat beers, but also enhances the mouth feel and improves the foam of all top-fermented beer styles. The malting process has been adapted to the raw material to guarantee excellent processability. BEST Wheat Malt is also available in organic quality.

BEST Black Malt eXtra (roasted malt) is the darkest malt in the BEST Black Malt series. The intensive roasting process produces colors and flavor components that give the beer a black to deep black color and nuances of black coffee or strong espresso. BEST Black Malt eXtra does not make the foam darker either and complies with the specifications of the German Reinheitsgebot.

BEST Caramel® Munich II – known as BEST Caramel Dark – as an L value of 42-49, giving it a slightly more intensive color than BEST Caramel® Munich I. As well as its darker color it also has a stronger flavor reminiscent of almonds and bread crust. The malt itself is characterized by a discreet toasted note. BEST Caramel® Munich malts have good processing properties and give the finished beer a pleasant flavor profile. BEST Caramel® Munich II complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot. BEST Caramel® Munich II is also available in organic quality.

BEST Caramel® Munich II

BEST Munich intensifies the mouth feel and malty flavor of amber to dark beers in a pleasant way. Even a small amount in the grain bill gives the beer a typical malty note. BEST Munich is therefore ideally suited to enhancing the body of very highly fermented beers. Due to the generally higher levels of protein in this malt, the higher its concentration in the grain bill, the better the foam of the beers brewed with it. BEST Munich complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot. BEST Munich is also available in organic quality.

BEST Munich

BEST Organic Pilsen Malt gives beer a fresh and rounded taste. It can be used for all types of light beer. It also forms an excellent “light” and enzyme-rich foundation for almost all beer styles. Malt characteristics: low protein levels, high extract content, light color and high enzymatic activity.

BEST Organic Pilsen Malt

BEST Heidelberg Wheat Malt is a particularly pale wheat malt that emphasizes the effervescent freshness and typical top-fermented flavor of wheat beer. BEST Heidelberg Wheat Malt is produced exclusively from high-quality, selected brewing wheat varieties that do not tend to add color during the malting process. The protein content is slightly more moderate than in BEST Wheat Malt due to the properties of the raw material.
