Flavour and description
Due to a special process, stewing, especially many low-molecular substances are formed in this IREKS kiln-dried malt, which are transformed into strong aroma and colour substances during subsequent kilning. For this reason, this malt is particularly suitable for supporting a strong malt aroma and achieving, at the same time, hues of brown which come from the melanoidins formed.
