Product Description
Briess innovative new brewing ingredient, MaltGems™ is now available! By custom milling Briess Synergy Select Pilsen Malt, they removed the majority of husk to create a malt that eliminates the bitter, astringent flavors common with other base malts. What remains is MaltGems™ — the Heart of the Malt — that delivers exceptional performance and lautering due to the removal of fine grit, flour, and water-binding husk. MaltGems™ can be used in any beer style where clean, sweet, well-rounded base malt flavor is desired and is exclusively available from Briess. Expect balanced flavor with subtle bread, cracker, and honey notes along with a remarkably clean finish only achieved by eliminating husk-based polyphenols.
Because MaltGems™ are custom milled, they are crafted to efficiently lauter without reintroducing husks. They have the capability for higher throughput due to the potential for adding 20% or greater grist.
