Crisp Lager Malt
Lager Malt is made from English spring barley with a slightly higher protein than what is used for the Best Ale Malt. It is kilned at a low temperature for a sweet, but less “malty” character.
Lager malts from continental Europe tend to be higher in protein, have less modification and a lower SNR which means the malt then requires processing in a rising temperature programme. This is the reason that decoction and heated mash vessels are the dominant brewing system on the continent. However, Lager Malt has been optimised to also work comfortably in a single strike temperature brewery.
