Château Red Intense is a specialty malt that imparts a vibrant red hue to ales and lagers while delivering exceptionally rich malt flavours and aromas, without the use of colouring agents. Château Red Intense has sufficient diastatic power to be used for up to 100% of the grain bill, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of beer styles. It imparts strong malty flavours and a full body, enhancing both mouthfeel and complexity. The malt’s narrow and consistent colour range (34-38 EBC), along with its low turbidity, ensures a clear, reddish appearance in the final beer. This malt is ideal for achieving a deep red colour without affecting the balance of the beer. When used without other malts, the recommended initial density of the non-boiled wort should be between 12°P and 16°P to obtain an intense reddish tone. Perfect for brewing Red Altbier, Red IPA, Red Sour, Belgian and Irish Red Ales, and Red Lagers, Château Red Intense can be used for up to 100% of the grain bill, allowing brewers flexibility and creativity in crafting red beers.
