Description
Oat Malt – Canada Malting Co.
Malted oats can improve mouthfeel and introduce notes of a toasted, grainy, biscuit aroma and taste. This malt can also contribute beta-glucans, otherwise known as soluble fibres, to add an extra health-promoting property. Great for Porters, Stouts, and British Ales to achieve that characteristic oat texture and silkiness.
NOTE: We are unable to mill this malt, it slides right through even at the tightest gap. If you are mixing this grain with other grains, we will pass it in the mill with the others which will help crush the oat malt.
WARNING: Efficiency can be reduced due to the pour crush or unmilled grain.
