Belgian Melanoidin (Melano) malt. Special germination process. Kilned in a special way at up to 130°C. Château Melano malt is slowly dried as the temperature is raised, allowing the melanoidins to form as part of the kilning process. Very aromatic, with an intense malty flavor. Gives fullness and roundness to the beer color, improves flavor stability, and promotes red color in your beer. Gives beer a fuller body. This specialty variety has been described as “turbo Munich”. Amber and dark beers, Scottish type and red coloured beers like Scottish ales, amber ales, red ales, and Irish ales. Up to 20% of the mix.
