Description
Midnight Wheat Malt – Briess
Midnight wheat malt contributes the same colour characteristics as Black Malt but without the bitter, astringent, dry flavours or aftertaste. It finishes exceptionally clean and is the smoothest source of black colour of any malt. It is excellent in Black IPAs, Schwarzbiers, other dark ales and lagers, and for colour adjustment in any beer style.
Flavours and characteristics
Subtle, smooth, no bitter, astringent, dry flavours or aftertaste, starts slightly sweet, hints of roasted flavour.
Usage
