Description
Special B Malt – Dingemans
Special B malt is a dark caramel malt. Special B gets its unique aroma and flavour from a unique double drying process. This malt has an intense caramel flavour and is often connected to the raisin-like flavour of some Belgian abbey beers. Special B will impart less bitterness in your beer than other dark caramel malts. All caramelized malts have a positive effect on foam stability from as little as 5% of the grain bill.
